Looks to fit U as well.

Shelby Hurley is the nice lady you are refering to. She runs P/SA with her 55 in Div1. She is Steve Hurley's daughter he runs a SS/OA 55 also. My father spoke with him this weekend. The 55 intake is a 1 year only thing (No Superseeds yet). The problem with this combo is some letters need to be submited to NHRA for them to recognize that this is the oem 180hp combo not the 205hp combo they have in the books. Best of luck I to will look and see if I have that intake. Best of luck and please do post some pictures. Luv the shoeboxes.

Jack,seems a little bird got that 3 speed ball rolling or was it a big DAHKAHUNA, your welcome LMAO

You're correct, big DAHKAHUNA, The General Kinetics #2 grind was the best. It had a high contact velocity, lots of dwell over the nose, and you could get it into float rather easily; but if you didn't get into float, it would make some power.

Hey Dave I remember your 69 camaro, I was racing the same SS/EA class from 84 to 88 and sold the car because of the head rule changes allowing porting,best e.t.10.15 133 mph loved that car. Phil Cocuzza was fastest with the 400 hp corvette but we all new the hp factor was soft they finally put him SS/CA later on. I won class at pomona once and runner-uped @ lacr points race in 87. Those GK cams sure had some pop and now valvesprings aren't a issue anylonger......small world!

Robert, thanks for the info and I will write some letters toward getting HP lowered although I'm just starting the build I was just contacted buy a cool guy in Mass. that should have his out sooner Carl Libucha's his name, he is writting letters also, he should have dyno #'s soon as November. He was very helpful and informitive keep a eye out for him.

Doug - Dahkahuna:
Earlier you mentioned that someday you might go to a 375 hp/396. Give me a call before you do that. I learned something about that combo after I went to the 425/427 in My SS/EA. I first tried the 375/396 for SS/FA and gave up on it after I "torpedoed" the motor at M.I.R. What I learned (later) could have made the combo much more viable. You may already have this info, but its worth a phone call.
