It would be interesting to see how much compression it’s running, sure has some pop.


I’m sure he is exceeding 12.5-1, LOL.
As smart as we are on this race combination stuff, we could walk this backwards a little bit I think. Let’s start with the best available octane gas in 1979.

I’ll say one thing though, those domed gas ported pistons look like they can really put the squeeze in there. Which brings up the next questions to think on. What W2 head was used? How many cc’s did he have the head milled down to if needed? Though I’m sure it was done since in that class, what ever needs to be done will be done to get that win.

IDK what kind of durations were used back then on the camshaft or what the engine was spinning, but again, “Maximum Effort” is the only effort in Pro Stock.
