There is a little bit left in the comb, 572 with 440-1 345s. Dwayne has a cam in mind that will carry the power a little higher but, will loose a little torque ( now 810). The car hooks up most of the time however, I have been bitten a couple of times during eliminations, so a little loss in torque might help the consistancy. Also considering changing my 750's for a pair of Dominators. Not really big gains left but maybe enough to bump the 8's all motor! The last milestone for Montessa!
Just Wow!! I have never seen a heavy b body like that go low 9's with a set of 440-1 Indy Heads.Who built the motor? What was the Horsepower and torque numbers?

Dwayne Porter, owner, operator and engine guru of Porter Racing Heads from Burlington, Vermont built the motor. It dynoed at 910HP and 810TQ. World aluminum block, Indy tunnel ram with 2 750's.
whose converter are you using?And what size and stall? What does the car normally run in regular air? You ET numbers are outstanding coming from 440-1 Indy heads.
