Rob,

Just for the record, my best 2004 quarter mile run, which was at Norwalk, was 8.328 and 156.88 mph. Which isn't bad considering it is just a 400, all motor, that I threw together just to make the last Joliet Pontiac race (that got rained out)shortly after blowing my good 455 that year (2001 or 2002???). So, the 400 that was originally built to be a daily driver for my 69 convertible, and intended to be used for just one Pontiac race and to finish up the points races that year, has been in the rail since. Short times at Norwalk were in the 1.152 (I think that was the best) range, but, at our track consistantly is in the 1.11-1.13 range with 1/8 mile times of low to mid 5.20's. My best 1/8 mile on the car with the 455 was 5.15 at 131 at IRP, so, the little 400 is holding it's own, just doesn't have the top end like the big boys. The car also runs every weekend, averaging 6 runs per race, still together after all of this time. Consistent, reliable, and very low dollar.
