To me its more impressive when a sb runs hard BBs are expected to.ive had people come up to me at the track after a pass to check out the car and are shocked when they realize its a sb NA....they automatically assume its a BB because of how fast it is....we even had to set the track announcer straight.LOL
so what times does it run at what weight ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/1343795-scratchchin.gif)

True...but I know 4 sb's that would be deep 7's but they run 1/8. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) . Goss's challenger went 204mph in the 1/4 is just one of the 4.

My stock stroke, cast crank, .030 over 360 has been 10.29 this year. Normally in mid 10.30s. My car is 2960 w/me in it. Not bad for a SS spring in stock location w/9" slick car.
That's why I run a SB.
very impressive times...stock elim.car?
I wish! I don't have enough money to do that! Just weekly bracket race at one of the toughest tracks around, Norwalk Ohio! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nervous.gif)

Monte take a breath and answer the question...how many bb MOPARS ? I don't need to know about other makes that do it,it's my boys motors that are the fastest
Well I guess I don't understand the question..........you made the comment and then mentioned Ron Rhodes. He drives a SB Chevy, so I assumed you meant in general.
But if you are asking about BB Mopars in X275, I think they can run that number with the right serious effort combo. At present, I can only think of ONE guy who is even running that combo in X period and that would be Mr Robbins. And this is in no way shape or form a slight against him, plus I am sure he will agree, that his current combo is not a balls to the wall, all out, X275 combo. Spoke with him at Holly Springs and he admitted as much. His combo needs a little work, likely doesn't have the right cam and head, nor has he even approached the jet size the "hitters" in the class run. He is more focused on a "jet limited" 275 class in Texas, where he runs near the front of the pack.............So, knowing what the "go to" head in the X275 class will flow and what a properly done PSO head can flow, I would say a BBM can do it, just that nobody has yet. I would like to try it myself, I just don't have an X275 ready chassis, nor do I have the FIRST part for that type motor...........Now if somebody wants to volunteer up a car and motor, we will see what we can do.........LOL!!!

I hope and love to see a mopar contender bb or sb in Ultra or x275. 4.40s and 50's is the norm these days especially after the Bruders did what they've done the last 2 events. Im personally gonna run ultra because of weight and minimal changes I have to make. I wanted to really check the chassis this year w the sb indy motor.I gotta tell ya with a 26 jet and 13 degrees of timing out way safe....that little sucker moves ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif) . I was hopeing to atleast get up to a 36jet this yr,but Winter is here. Anyways we will see next yr if a 15* sb can run hard enough. 440" w9 tons of head work from Brett Miller and chamber work for lots of nos use from a top notch cylinder head shop. 4/7 cam swap 60 mm With all the bells and whistles which should yield 1300hp+. 9" Pro glide

after spending most of my summer doing a RB, A body car for a guy, I can say most assuredly that I am not in any rush to do this for myself,,my body just finally healed up from the last one. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/2231195-dggif.gif)
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I am still trying to figure out why guys race big blocks.
I raced both. I like the feeling of the front end dropping at 128mph cause it is still pulling with a big block. The small block was a great bracket car. After you pulled high gear I had all the time in the world to look for that big block chasing me.
