It would be an interesting read if we could have just the real engine builders only have a so to speak engine build off against each other.
They get to choose their engine of choice be it Mopar,ford or chevy. No nos, blowers,superchargers or prochargers all motor! And if you name is not on the list at the start you can not post or join in no matter how good you are once it is started!
PS not that I don't find this post amusing as it is,but would not mind learning a few things.

Not asking for any Top Secrete type of builds,the specs will show who is for real or not. It might even be fun for some of the Top Engine Builders,it will give them a chance to go head-head with each other.Be some what like if all of us racers could get together at the same time and do a little Bracket Racing (the dial in equals the playing field)and we would all get to see who was best on that given day.

Wow....1.28 60 ft., 4.65 in the eighth. That should be in the 6.80's with that power, or faster.
He went a 4.59 @159mph with a 1.15 sixty yesterday at No Mercy V at SGMP in Valdosta,Ga.

I am NOT building high winding, small cube N/A Comp engines. We build big nitrous motors...........There is not a 532 on the planet that will run with a good 632 on nitrous. Won't happen, I don't car how high you spin it.
Something that works on paper and something that works in the real world are two different things.
ALL big motors are over center, they have to be. How else you going to build an 800" motor within the confines of a normal block
Monte
So who ya gonna spoon with now Chris n mr p-body.....Mad scientist or Monte ?
Pay attention goofball. Monte is talking about a nitrous engine. I said N/A. Two different things. But you are too silly to get it. And, as Monte said, how are you going to get an over center (as he calls it) to run without a power adder.
So neither Monte or myself is wrong.
Bad day to be you.
I'm glad you guys are quoting this IDIOT ... otherwise I wouldnt know what he is saying
Wby does this guy have to come from Minnesota? This is embarrassing
