They are not a good idea. Especially on a 360. I could see using them on a T/A block but thats more expensive than an aftermarket block. Ultimately if you have the money run the aftermarket block but like a lot of guys I didn’t have the money at the time and I got to see the true potential and I...

I hear you. I take it you are a professional engine builder. With that said you don't know what abuse the end user is doing to it. Also there has been a lot of advancement in fuels and fuel/timing management over the years. My nitrous car makes 650 on the motor at 8 grand and gets knocked over...

That sucks. Kinda hard to tell which came first the egg or the chicken. Probably detonation caused it to kick a rod and saw the block in half. I have yet to blow a head gasket at over 1400 hp at 20psi. So I realize you guys are cautious and thats fine but the fact remains that some motor live...

That would be awesome!

Its gonna be a while. Maybe MATS? Those were some good times!! RIP Irwindale.

The twin turbo 344” motor has been shelved. Not because it broke but because I went bigger. It made over 100 passes at 1k no problem. The 340 in my duster is over 20 years at 900 hp. It still runs.

I like the guys that say Mopar guys are cheap. Have you met LS guys? Anyways i have a heavy street car twin turbo deal. Goes low 8’s at about 180. Stock 727 case built by Protrans. It has hundreds of laps on it and thousands of street miles (4 dragweeks) plus hooning around town. This case...

Here are some photos and be sure to check out my YouTube for the video. I have last years dragweek on my channel. This years is still a few weeks out.

There were a lot of Mopars which is awesome to see. You should. Any drag n drive really. They are all so much fun! The 67 Mustang has a 400” windsor with a 300 plate system. They are new to the nitrous but it went well every day for them. Rick dropped a valve after a defective (brand new)...

Sad news indeed. Bob is a staple in SoCal Mopar parts. I pray for a speedy recovery for him.

Oh man what roller coaster!!
