Awesome effort.

Just imagine how much quicker she will run when you harness all that 650hp.

Low 10s to high 9s at mid 130s are just around the corner Im sure.

Good result, just wondering what you did to the engine? It was new wasn't it, why a full rebuild again.

It needed a full rebuild cause when i was at Gazzanats in March the roller off the bottom of the lifter came off. And why the motor was out we changed pistons to lower the comp so that it runs on pump fuel. Put dished SRP Forged pistons in it.

393 stroker
Eagle 6" Rods
Scat 4340 Forged Pistons
SRP Dished Forged Pistons- 11.0 Comp
Fully Balanced
Comp Roller Cam
4V Heads, Port Fillers

Wilson 4 Hole Spacer
950 Ultra Carby
98 BP Ultimate Fuel

crap, you dont need bulk power or 4v's to run tens.
its all about the set up.

i know of a certain yellow ute with a 450 hp cast 2v set up and weighs 3300lbs that runs 10's aspirated.

Mate I was way off a 12,not close
But more than quick enough where it matters to me :

What are you on about a 351 matching a 393?

whats that got to do with having a drag setup,you've lost me..:
