In the FABO article on Gliddens Arrow I told of my friends car running super modified (comp), he ran 2 engines SB Chevy, 266 and 331, 266 ran 8.70s 331 ran 8.0s @ 3100 pounds. Wallace says the 266 is 835 hp and 331 is 1074 hp. Verified these numbers from him today.


When was this guy making these kind of numbers?
