Chief grew the Crow over time to what it is today with mostly parts from the Butler catalog. 2820 @ 188 is knockin on 3ks door...lol. 3.99 is leaving about 800 in the wind. Add 40% nitro...who knows...hahahaha! All in fun, Peace!
I see two high dollar Pontiac race engines.

I counted on my fingers...took 7 years to get the Boss Bird to record setting ability. Thousands of hours behind the scenes, lots of torn up parts, plenty of lost sleep, lots of consultations with our band of advisors. A deep checkbook won't produce results without a lot of effort, dedication and time. I thought Tommy's car would challenge our record but he didn't stay with it long enough.

FWIW,
Eric
