Finally was able to make some passes on new Best Machine 540, it met expectations. 9.38@144 mph, I was impressed given the car weighed 3550#s at the starting line. The combo is fairly basic and as always it is a sum of its parts. Chuck and Pete did an excellent job on all the machine work, and parts selection While we did the assembly locally.

Also wanted to thank Greg at Superformance for all the leak free gaskets. And the last minute custom gaskets for the tunnel ram. His customer service is second to none.

The combo:
- Indy Maxx Aluminum Bloc
- 4.25 x 4.5
- Indy 325 CNC Heads
- Best Machine Custom Cam ( 279/750 , 290/730 )
- Indy Tunnel Ram / 2 750 carbs with proform parts.
- 9" Converter
- 4.30 gear
- 13 x 31 tire
- 68 GTX 3550#'s


This combo is 3 tents faster than the previous 499 with Edelbrock Victor Heads and 280/670 cam..

And given the high mph, I have a bunch of work to do on the chassis to reach potential.


68 GTX, 9.38 at 144, Best Machine 540..
