It is chasing away so many good members. Without a serious correction of those deficiencies, I'm afraid this site will fade away. It's not puzzling at all. The reason info links is here is the $$$$$$$$$$ they pay. That annoying pop up has minimized my even looking here due to the impact on my phone screen.

What head is on this beast making 1250hp? All I asked, maybe Im missing the boat. Hell 1250 is more than even INDY claims so I am truly curious. If you don't understand why the bore spacing would make a difference then I don't know what to tell you. BTW I have a 600-13x engine as well. I am fairly well aware of what that head can do as well. 4.50's here in a 2000lb dragster with a single 4 cast intake. Seems you have more than one burr up your butt. I am open minded and have run just about every mopar combo out there. I ran small blocks for a long time, had a small block running 9.80's in the early 90's that I drove around and street raced, oh yeah NA as well W2's welded stroker crank and all. Aint much making that kind of power NA. A couple 600-13XXX headed combos I know of and some Predator stuff. Not seen anything else get there. But I am always willing to learn This stuff does make it fun, when I am here reading. Smack!

One of my friends who makes and sells repop parts for AMC says he sells three times the material on Fakebook than he does on the forums. What is even more disturbing to me is that he tells me one of the most common questions he gets is "Are you on Twitter?" Face it, those of us who prefer forums are probably in the 50+ crowd. The youngsters love social media platforms and they are the future of the hobby. I love forums because of the policing but I fear this dinosaur might get drug into the "social media" quagmire out of necessity.

Not to go OT, any wisdom to share on what safety equipment? would have reduced that level of injury? Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I don't frequent forums as often anymore either. Let's face it our hobby hasn't really changed all that much in the last 10 years and basically all the info one would need is floating around out there already.

Not that I don't still enjoy it here as I always have it just seems I never find the time I need anymore. Hope everyone is well and doing fine. Ron Last edited by 383man; 01/22/20 03:10 AM.

Look at it on my phone when I have free time, rarely sit down on the computer and look at the web boards. Most of the pages i used to frequent have dried up, this one still seems to be going. In God we trust, all others pay cash. www.lightnens.com (Home of the world's fastest Paint Job)

I sold it to a guy in 2006, I can't remember his name now from Seattle who had a 2 wheel drive Ramcharger he wanted to build for street and some drag racing . He use to post on here about it regularly. The original owner died and some one else had bought it and remove some of the parts like the carb.,water pump and housing and so on that was on it when he bought it. My message is things happen and nothing stays constant in todays world, me included Last edited by Cab_Burge; 01/25/20 01:58 PM. Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
