I thought the 8-71 blower was the handicap in this matchup (Leech vs George race)

Just might be!

No offense intended George. I think a 14-71 might be better than overdriving the 8-71.(Think turbo instead George)

As a bracket car it does what its supposed to, run consistant and reliably. That is what Georges build was intended to do, not intended to be a heads up racer.

Yes Bruce 14-71 would make it quicker and turbos ARE boring, I'm very limited on how much BOOST I can run BUT like you said it is only a Bracket car. The Pro Gas class I've been running in the Nostalgia Races all use 8-71 (BIG Block Chevy's, BB Fords & some BB Mopars and they all seem to be light under 3,000 lbs) and Im running with them. I didn't build as a Dyno Queen or Test & Tune car like a couple on this PY board............I race it in Competition!!
