That car is sinister! If Batman built a drag car, it'd look like that. Good luck!

way to go Travis and Rodney car is flying already. Travis if you want to see someone get tree'd maybe someone has a pic of the finals of the franic 4 at norwalk

Welter would not not "Tree" the competition with his turbo car vs the assumed "quicker off the tree" Supercharged car. At least that was what the announcer was claiming was going to happen to the turbo car.

John Welter, in the first real "Heads Up" (mano-mano) race between the two cars, put a major light, as you mentioned, on the Supercharged competition.

Considering that Travis was "Tuning by Phone" helping John I would bet that he knew the actual numbers of the two cars before most of the rest of us, Rock C. Yes, it was a major a$$ whooping.

What block do you use?

Hello?

Is this thing on?

Tap! tap!

Scott I would think he's using an IA1 or IA2. Might even be an aluminum deal.

Scott, trying to help you out a bit here. Travis does not hang out on the internet for the same time periods that you do. His responses may be very infrequent. It might be days before he could be able to respond to a question due to his work schedule. He might miss a question if there were several pages of comments after a question. I doubt if he reads every post on the PY board. Give the man a break.

Scott -

Sorry for the delay. It's an All Pontiac iron block. Super nice piece.

TQ

[Scott M]

S'OK.

It's not OK if you were an old semi-retired codger like Pops Vaught with a big pension in the bank and with lots of free time and working for an endangered American car company.

Anyway:

Have you noticed any indication of main cap walk/block galling when you disassembled, at that power level?

Thanks.

Thanks.

You will get minor cap walk at that level without cross bolted mains. We have noticed minor walk after 20+ 1/4's , but it is no biggie. Still have the original mains in it.
