I would hope they could do better than a 412 cid Ford Small Block engine (with a much bigger engine and 3 stages). Lets see some 7.40s.

Fulton has a Dry Sump System

3) The Ford was running a Canted Valve "Old School" Yates head
Fulton is running a canted valve head.

4) The Ford was running a 10.5 W tire
Fulton probably has something better years later.

5) The Ford as was said was running basically a small engine (with rpm)
Fulton is running a much larger engine within 500 rpm of the Ford engine's rpm

6) Compression ratio is similar if you believe the posts on the board.

So how do these specs resemble a John Force plastic bodied vehicle with a Mopar engine?
