The air was 900 feet, guys.

I'm glad I choose Holbrook for my first SS power.

Chris is a very nice guy and a great engine builder.

I have all of the respect in the world for Holbrook racing and their accomplishments...

And the time Chris just put down is a tremendous performance by any standards.

I was just asking the question about the air because I see such a big performance difference in naturally aspirated cars and supercharged cars, that the air doesn't seem to affect the supercharged cars nearly as much, if any, than it makes to naturally aspirated cars.

Congratulations for a superior performance.

David,
next time you have a chance, have Rock explain how his Corvette (N/A) and his CJ (S/C)
are affected by the air.

See you at the races,
Wayne Kerr

Did this run happen or not? Chris himself said he set the record at 8.80 so the 8.73 should have gotten him instant horsepower yet no HP notice was forthcoming and the record isn't listed like Jack's, Art's, Chuck's etc. If there was a teardown issue was it another manufacturer spec listing error or what? I'm not a "new car" hater by any means (love the DP's) but if the "system" is EVER going to bring the new stuff in line doesn't it at least have to be applied? Did I miss something?

I think Jesse Kershaw should weigh in on this one.
