No he's running a single plane like I am.

Have you seen the one videos of my dad's 555 with pretty small runner heads and small carb/headers? That is what a 434 would be like with a super ram. SUPER TORQUE & hard to hook up! If you could plant all the torque and harness it, the thing would be on the back bumper for sure!

I'll keep my eye on it, thanks.

What time do you guys usually roll in the gates?

Gates open at 10:00am, and runs begin at 11:30. I am usually there by 10:30am. We pit on the right side of the track about 75 yards past the tech shack.

Hopefully I'll be able to get over there. Thanks Jim.

Yeah, I was impressed. None of the lurchy start off, or superhard shift into second at 30mph that jerks you and chirps the tires for no appearant reason. No louder than any 350 w/aftermarket exhaust. We made two short trips then a good ten miles down a two lane road, sat at traffic lights etc. The rollbar is hardly intrusive, as any neverlift customer will tell you, full interior. Engine retains mechanical water pump and A/C.

Did you drive it to Carlisle this year?
