I'm thinkin' this engine was in a certain GTO that always does very well @ Norwalk each year. …(I think it was purple w/ flames)Injector hat had the same look to it...same letters. Correct?

Purple seems to be the go-to color for this team/ownership.
Think that was a purple ATV pit road hauler in garage too.

WarBird has R&B Total Performance on quarter panels to match R&B butterflies.
Think you nailed all those parts completely.
But - we don't know that its the full exact same spec 7.9 second engine , necessarily.

No doubt its gonna be a fast one , either way.

The car your talking about ran a 7.4 last year at Norwalk at about 3,450 lbs

He's calling for 1.5 secs faster than 7.4

Probably around 1 second faster just in the car switch
then whatever voodoo magic is under that hat now .

Did no want to take the time and make up a couple of simulation since I really do not know a whole lot about either car. So I just went quick and dirty knowing that would be quicker. Well here you go.

3450# cd .4 frontal area 22 sq ft
60 Foot ET = 1.2022
330 Foot ET = 3.1697
1/8 Mile ET = 4.8083
1/8 Mile MPH = 150.3887
1000 Foot ET = 6.2154
1/4 Mile ET = 7.4063
1/4 Mile MPH = 189.2569

2350# .3 cd frontal area 19 sq ft - improved traction
60 Foot ET = 1.0485
330 Foot ET = 2.7530
1/8 Mile ET = 4.1756
1/8 Mile MPH = 172.7142
1000 Foot ET = 5.4018
1/4 Mile ET = 6.4400
1/4 Mile MPH = 217.1396

I guess we will know in a few week how far over this is.

1.20 60’ time for a 7.40 ET...... he doesn’t have a turbo car! LOL! I’m running 1.14-17 in my car!
