I have no idea what a good one makes today. 700?

Yupp 700 will be a fast one.

I think Ashton had probably one of the fastest CS cars in the classes history, that thing was fast as can be. We quit CS in about 2012 and jumped into AS, but our best 304" motors made between 690-710 on a Superflow dyno. The best run we ever made with it was in Belle Rose at the Sportsnationals in 2009, ran 9.22 @ 143. That was all with the Chevy Bowtie Vortec head castings.

We sure had a lot of fun competing with Marlin and David Bogner in our CS days, that Mopar was really fast and kept us working on our stuff!

James Antoinnette. Has the fastest SS /CS.

I am getting a SS/CS engine ready for assembly. Dave was balancing it yesterday. It will be a big 324. We tried the smaller combo and lighter
car. Our quickest combo was a big engine. Dave would like to take it to Indy.
