Still have lots of fine tuning to do , so I am very happy with what she's doing at this point .

Very cool Jim. That's a couple of real fine photos too. You've been fighting the "only thing faster than cubic inches is cubic dollars" mantra for quite a while and now you're getting some good traction (pun intended).  Even though there's still a heavy cost, wait a prove them it can be done. +

All stock off the shelf parts so far KD.
A lot of personal goals have been accomplished on this journey .
Most everything in this engine was/ is used . The hurricane heads were new and untouched . The SE throttle body was new as was the pro-charger. Everything else was used . That was one of the goals , to bolt a used motor together and use mostly stock parts .

Now it's time to maximize the parts .

This class is going into the 9's . I hope I am the first , but Paul Vicory is flying and still not dialed in yet . Dave Dennick has been fast and focused for years. Unless someone else jumps in ?? It's a 3 way race to the 9's at this point .

That's awesome. Congrats. Surprised to see stock spoke wheels on there. Figure they wouldn't hold up to the abuse.

HTT sponsored home grown special? I'd kick in....

Well the wheels are used because they are the lightest set I own . And again to prove a point .
Yes you are welcome to kick in a set of Brock's carbon fiber wheels .  just kidding .

Amazing results considering how you went about it.  Just proves that the little guy can compete and win today.  Congrats to a job well done!

Congrats to you and also to Greg Dahl. Greg is a great drag racer and a good guy to visit in his shop.

thank you. If you can tune and ride (or tune and put a 120 kid on it ) you can do it .

Like the man said:
If you can make the power, all that weight is just more traction.
