> Kieth, Have been running my blown altered, or helping
with my buddy, Bob Ragsdales Blast from the Past 53 Stude for the last 6
years. Bobs car has been powered by a 355 chev.since l994. He has lost a
motor nearly every year. Finally got it right last year, interceder under
the 671 blower , endrele injection ect.an 200 at the 2 mile with 2,5 gears
which is the top of 3rd gear. The krugal firebirds 300 mph blasts forced
him to drop down to a D motor which will not have much of an effect on
his performance, so don't expect that 2l3mph record to last to long. You
need to take a look at the rule book and note the need for higher caliber
driving suit, boots and gloves also more on board fire ext. If you
decide to go blown, figure on the best of everything, a $3000 Bow tie
block, high dollar rods, crank and pistons, dry sump I wouldn't mess
with B&Ms blower go to Kuhl or BDS 671 type. If you want to go Turbo,
Dave Parks camaro is a good one!
> to look at as its rather low tech, but very dependable, Ak Miller
helped him a lot with it. Probably cost less than Bobs setup and a tubo
setup especially with EFI probably has more ultimate performance. Well
I've got to go put that old hemi together and see if it will run again
for WOS, it's about l964 technology and on it's best day won't push the
Stude faster than 210mph but it's been 5 years since I've driven and I
need to get some seat time before I warm it up to 1970 technology. Good
luck L. Kvach Butters
