    Always keep in mind that 7.82 was a motor tuned to reach outer space, ran without water, and lifted the head; it was a risk-everything shot for a world record. These 8.0x are passes are healthy and well below potential. It'll get there; doing it right is the real challenge.

      From that pass till now most of the things that have been done are for weight reduction, roll cage, new intake, and fuel system. The blocks are the same but the aluminum one weighed less but couldn’t take as much boost. But without that extra weight you’d have less weight on the nose of the car so you’d need less power to get the car going. Be interesting just to see them do it though.

      The aluminium block wasn't TSPs best, though. They got it back, rebuilt it and gave it bigger studs. There's a very good chance it would've been doing 7.80s even with the old clutch on the old setup if they just put the original engine back in.

Thank the bald eagles I got in early on you guys, all because I was looking at cart car conversions. You 4 guys haven’t only made a name for yourselves, but raised the fandom on many levels, I’m following your northern bog deep brothers now because of you. Keep up the good work, He’ll Yeah brothers, do it for Dale and Ed.

      Even if they just added panels to the back end so the air leaving wasn't sucking him back as much it'd be an improvement, that and some aero behind the front tires so the air can slip along the sides better. They can do all that and still have that leroy look, maybe touch 7-0 and waste cars with full aero, which would be tops in my book.

      Never... it would be way too much work for something that isn’t garunteed to improve the car... a lot of mid engine cars don’t have the proper weight distribution to have the car weight transfer properly almost all of your traction in drag racing comes from weight transfer the more weight that can be transferred the more grip but at the same time you can’t have the front of the car too light or else it would just do wheelies which may look cool but that’s not how you win races
