Vin63 you got to be close???


Hmmm...Marty had a billet crank. Marks is forged... VIN63 has run NITRO on a cast 400 N crank!!! SEE what she can make at 6000 RPM Mark!
We were probably at around 1800 hp to run 6.9/199 mpg at 2800+ lbs. as an altered. (chassis 2680 + me 165).

We ran up to 15 percent nitro on the cast crank. We switched to a forged crank now that we have to run a bigger tune to make up for the added 300+ pounds of a FC body.
