Hi,

I'm not a racer, so I may not be able to answer your questions but I'll try.

The current engine is a 502 w/Dart Iron Eagle heads, it has a TH400 w/transbrake, and 4.56 gears in a Ford 9". The engine was built with moderate compression (9.6:1) and the guy was going to run a big nitrous setup on it. In it's current state, the engine dyno'd somewhere around 560HP. The owner's goal was 900 HP with nitrous.

The roll cage was upgraded to the regulations in effect in 2000. The owner had a changing family situation and quit racing. I bought his car trailer, the car, and a bunch of Pontiac parts.

I used to bracket race in my youth. The best I did was run low 8's in the 1/8 mile, and I thought that was awful fast at the time for a street car.

Mike
