My SS/BM 69 Valiant has run 8.65 @ 154 at 3,050 lbs. with a 374" W8 motor. I run a 33" tall tire with 5.83 gears, 8,500 stall converter, shift at 9,400 and go over the line at 9,900.
Anybody get video of thus car yet? I would like to see and hear it run.

Ken , the Finnish Flash ( MAFO on the forum ) is awful quick with his " street " car. Technology with these things seems to go in spurts , but with the advent of the new Hemi's , I am afraid that any new " latest and greatest " tricks are gonna be one offs by individual builders / racers. The availability of blocks , head castings , cam cores etc. seems to be finite .......... though blocks have gotten a small dose of good news recently. But we seem to be the red headed step children of the performance world.

I have been away for a few days and you guys are already talking behind my back...the finnish flash fakt is that those guys in SS modified are lightyears ahead, I have no idea how they can run low eights, sure they have a bit more power and better cars, but still

I would have expected more R5/P7 engines to be worth mentioning by now, but most guys running them take a cup spec engine and run with them. I know there is a CFE ported set of P7 heads around somewhere, hopefully they make it on to something. The P7 is a very very good head.

Most of the guys with some of these combos won’t spend the money and the time testing to get the right convertor to make them really shine.

P5 Hemi in my book wins it hands down.... No question. P-5 head is the king...….. Nothing else is even close
