Way to go Brent! Might be a good idea to take lifters apart and check for debris. Mine were full of it on a motor that spun a brg. By the way, most excellent CD. You guys rock! Bob M

Just out of curiosity, i went to look at IHRA indexes for F/SA... its 12.15/7.80
Heck , my 1st run, i was almost .5 under at the 1/8...and i was out of the gas, before i even got there..as you can tell by the mph... Wish NHRA indexes werent so stiff!

Well, almost ready to go back into the car... Valves set to '0' , Cam in @ 105*, new Comp 251/256* , nitrided... Coated lifters and cam... Put oil pan on last night, as well as front cover... Gonna finish it up tomorrow eve, and set it in the car Saturday or Sunday... will have it running and broken in , probably the following weekend... Im hoping to hold it to the floor, all the way to the 1320, this time
