WOW was that fun! Sound great,I have been thinking of getting a 496 built,does it pull hard? My buddy is a engine builder here in Port Hope and says that combo should be good for 500-550 hp.

I have never run at the track. Spent a good part of my younger years crewing and running front/rear engine dragsters and pro street rides. I have no desire to get back into it...even for a day, but you never know. Besides without making a pass it will always be a low 10 second car...lol. I have not dyno'd the engine but I'm told a similar engine by the same builder using AFR 315cc heads made some pulls in the area of 580hp/600tq but I cannot confirm those numbers. Might dyno it and dial it in again in the spring.
Thank You for the kind words. I hope it encourages others to show and tell their rides...finished or not...Just Say'n
We built a similar motor several years ago with 11.4:1 compression, well ported merlins, and a stout roller cam, and it did an honest 640hp on pump gas. It had a wicked solid roller from Bullet in it though...
Nice car Kurt. Man it doesn't get much closer then that, he must have seen the rubber patches still smokin, were talkin seconds here! I even looked behind me.
