wonder what the cars would be running if we went back to real crossrams...and would it affect the rpms that seem to be the norm now??? david???charlie???....need a rule like farm boy pullin tractors have???rpm telltale ...limit to 8800
That would depend on how short you could get the runners in relation to the plenum and if there would be any deficiencies in the air/fuel mix due to the cross ram configuration. The rpm their running probably has much more to do with the valvetrain innovation than anything else I think. Between Charlie and David, they have gotten the valvetrain much better in recent years.



On another note, is Super Stock another world where your only going fast if your cheating(knowingly breaking/stretching rules)?
