New Thread-to Be Or Not To Be?

It's easy to make a Hemi or a Six Pack run slow. Back in the late 80's when I had my 383 Super Bee and was only running about 13.70's with it, I was walking down the staging lanes and came upon a friend in his Six Pack car. Had "14.30" on the window. I said, "14.30?!? You need to work on this thing." HE said"No, I need YOU to work on it." (knowing my 383 was faster) I said I wouldn't cause it had to many carbs.

The problem with his car was it wasn't built right. People with Hemis sometimes do the same thing. They get to "big and fancy" and those motors don't like that. That particular gentleman didn't want to believe his Six Pack would run faster with a STOCK cam than it was running with his "509".....that is until the motor came apart and went back together with a stock cam. He immediately went in to the high 12's with it. Now he is a believer.
