here's the lowdown. he had someone build his motor, but he was pretty unhappy with it. so he brings it to me to "fix it". the last 2 passes it made before it arrived was a 6.66 & 6.69 at about 106mph, i think. when i took the motor out of the car i noticed it had 4 header gaskets on one side and 1 on the other. this was a sign of things to come. virtually nothing about the engine seemed to be correct: no thrust button, intake gaskets didn't fit, ALL those header gaskets hadn't been trimmed, dist. was untouched, the rings looked like a child had cut them as they had evidence of the ends butting,and so on........
i basically reused his parts along with a new set of rings. i managed to get what was supposed to be a "14/1" motor,{ but was actually about 12.4}, up to nearly 14/1 at this point.
after all this he called me today to tell me it went a 6.20 at 116 something. that's footbraking with a glide and about 3240#. he was tickled.
