-515 BBC
-E85 Fuel
-12.5 compression
-Solid roller cam 279/282 at .050 with around .780 lift forgot exact spec
-Holley EFI
-AFR 385 cylinder heads
-Poweglide
-4.29 gears
-6000 stall
-2500 race weight

Car runs great, I ran seven rounds of competition before I lost my first race. Very consistant running within .01 on evey run. I wish the driver was that good.

Cheap race fuel, works with O2 sensors, makes more power then gasoline, more consistant that gasoline.
