Porter Racing did the new motor, short block,,,451, solid cam, 13:1 E heads,,,made 650 HP and 580 tq on Dwaynes dyno..........
Best ET LAST year was 10.26 @129 @ Norwalk with a DA of 600,,,so i was hoping to get close to that with the new motor.
Just got the "new" motor installed this week,,,and fired it up 2 days before leaving home............
Got to the track Friday,,,for the first run ,,,, Car went 10.21 off the trailer,,,, woo hoo...NEW BEST ,,, first run,,,,MPH was about 130....
