Dave Finn runs his Max Wedge car in FAST. He has gone 11.04 @ 127mph I believe, and last year was his first year with it. I know of a new Max Wedge coming out this year I believe that should be giving Dave's car a run.

I heard that one of THE big hitters in FAST just bought a max wedge car.
Can't anything fly under the radar anymore??

Any idea roughly what his engine combo is? Number of cubes, compression, roller cam?? Not after trade secrets, just a basic combo rundown.

It's probably got as many as you can squeeze into a stock block, and yes, I'm sure it's got compression and a roller.......

Dave Finns car really looks and runs good. I heard his Maxie eng dynoed at almost 700 hp ! Look around this site and you can find some pics of Dave's 63 Dodge. http://www.supercarraces.com/Atco08.html I know like 4 years ago Jeff Petersons 63 Ply ran 12.0's in Pure Stock not FAST and I figured if you built a Maxie for FAST it should run easy mid to low 11's and it looks like Dave's car will run 10's with no trouble next year.

Hi Ed congrats on the new purchase you’ll love it. Bob K’s been trying to get me to take mine to the pure stocks for a couple of years but it just hasn’t worked out. Car runs 11.9’s on drag radials with me driving so I suspect it could be in the mid 11’s with someone who knows what they’re doing behind the wheel. It’s got a stock ’63 max wedge block but the heads have had some work and appearance wise looks as stock as they come.

Mr Big squeeze You make it sound like Iam going to violate the poor Wedge. It's nothing you wouldn't do? Big cubes, big compression and a big old roller just about say's it all . And it's all going in a black 63 Plymouth should make a good Chevy beater? We will see?
Joe now that the Maxie's going to take over I can get the Black Bird back to stock! Your 64 Looks great! How have you been?

Hi Ed been doing fine just waiting for the weather to break and get the cars out. Happy to hear you're ok after the reverse exit you had at the track had to be a hell of a ride! I look on here often to see pics of the bird - have to tell ya its impressive! The maxie is a lot of fun but with a 456 gear it doesn't see too much leisure driving. Take care and hope to see you this summer and may be do a little match up of the wedgeeees - Joe

I'm sure the MW could be competitive in F.A.S.T. but I'd think it'd do better in Pure Stock where the engines aren't modded enough to really take advantage of the Hemi's superior flow and where the MW has a decided compression advantage. Dave

I think Dave's and Ed's Maxi's will be in the 10's next year. I think the Maxi will run into the 11's in pure stock in a no radio, heater delete, Savoy with the battery in the trunk and the 3705 carbs. An Duster, Demon with a 3100 lbs race weight and 500 flywheel HP would also be interesting in FAST. Could this be the first 10 second FAST small block.
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.
