Im not sure about the fit. They look OK and seem like they will be a good fit after some sanding of the corners. Kevin, I don't think this thing will ever be lite enough for the class per the rules... |

Sorry bro.. I missed this post and the little lady told me I had missed it.. Sorry The car was last season with me in it 3198 and I weight 181 before dinner... The car needs to get down to 2950 for next season. I found 100#'s I could remove and Pro Cars will have to find the rest. |

How much spray do you put to that small block.......Are you going to a 420 this year..... |

Yeah it will end up being a 422. I am going to keep the same block now with a 4.165 bore and 3.875 stroke. Last season we stayed with a .040 pill.. We backed off to a .038 toward the middle of the season as the bearings in the motor were getting hit. Im hoping with 1/2" less stroke it is easier on the bearings. The 461 motor made 860 HP and 750 ft/lbs on the dyno. A .038 pill took the car to a 7.92 best pass in Maryland. That comes out to 1275 HP. A .038 pill by name is a 375HP pill.. But you can see it made a little more than that. I am very careful when talking about nitrous pills. I do not use HP number as they dont go hand and hand. One .038 pill in one motor might make 100 HP and another 500 HP. I understand that most the class is running around a .048 or more pill. I could not get to that stage till I sorted out some problems. Well I never got to that point and figured I better take some stroke outta the motor and build it with heavy parts that can take the abuse. All I can do is try this stuff out and see what happens. If we can make 1275 HP again in a 2950# car it should run in the 7.70's. That is why I picked that CID to move to. That is the minimum weight in the class. I will continue to run 10.5 next season and be the only one in the class with them. I am hard headed and love the 10.5 tire. Its a tuning nitemare to get these things down the track. If things dont go right, I will listen to what everyone has been telling me to do and switch to big tires. |

WOW, thanks for the info....That is just amazing how you can generate that much energy with a small block. Lots of my friends are Big Block guys and always give me shit for runing a small block, But when race season comes around I seem to hang with them just as good..(plus it realy makes them mad when a small block hands them their ass) 
I am planning on building a bigger small block next season...Mopar offers an r3 block wich I can take all the way to 458, but I was alao thinking a 422... Then spray some where in the range of 300 to 500....
My duster with the 360 and 250 worth of spray will go 9.70..It is all steel and I weigh 185 so I am not sure of my race weight. The car is completly street legal as well as very streetable(10.5 to 1 pump gas, 4.10 gears, 4000 coan stall) The motor now with 150 worth of spray made 506 at the rear wheels... What I would love to do is break into the 8's with the new motor and still drive it to work I believe it can be done and it will realy piss off my Big block buddies......
Anyways thats my story...Take it easy, Travis. P.S. We need a nitrous tech form, as I have lots of questions and info.... |

Cool, Monty's vid guy made sure he got me in the vid hangin over the wall at Cecil County. I don't have the Mullet anymore. lol 
Monty, Kenny Staib was also in the DTS Super Modified Class with a 421 SBC, 68 Camaro, Black with purple stripes. He ran our Quick 8 series and took the Points Championship with 3 out of 9 race wins and a split default win against Jerry Morgano by a non final ET win. He's been consistent as a bracket car with the little 421 against the monster big chiefs and big turbos. Prock was helping his tune at the final and was sure of a 7.70 out of the Camaro, but the track was getting misty on the top end and was called. It's a great choice going with the smaller cubes.

I hate to say but thats a BB chevy. 3 bolts on top and 4 on the bottom of the cover. Am I right? I believe that myself and Jim Huber are the only dummies running smallblocks in the class. If I am wrong and that is a smallblock, its OK cause I never made a mistake in 2003 so I have 2 for 2004.LOL |
