tci 904 or built 727

Well, you're very welcome.

I was astounded when Len told me about the problem of the intertia of the components contributing heavily (no pun intended) to the damage incurred when racing a 727, but as I said, that is his considered opinion; not mine.

If he were just some jake-leg, shadetree-mechanic (like ~I~ am) and he told me that, I'd think he was either making it up, or nuts, but this guy has 30 years' experience building T-Flites for so many of the really fast NHRA Stock and Super Stock racers on the West Coast, I have to take what he says seriously.... and, he has no reason to make something like that up... he wasn't trying to sell me ANYTHING.

Hell, I was surprised when Mopar started putting 904's behind 360s in Cordobas, and other heavy, 360-powered cars... I thought they'd never last.... but, they did.

So, what do I know? Not much, apparently...

I learn SOMETHING new every day; this one was just a little hard to swallow, but I'm sure Len wouldn't have told me that if it were not true... He and I have been good friends since 1980. (He's also a VERY successful Stock and Super Stock racer, having held several NHRA National records, and having won the Division VII points championship three times, as well as the Phoenix NHRA national event with his Super Stocker.)

Thanks for listening; hope it helps somebody!
