that someone either ran a 61 or was planning to. NHRA does not have the
61 360 hp refactored, but they do for later engines. 61 can use the large
port heads/intake, however the camshaft lift is limited to .439. I made three
events last and won class at one. The car will run 11.60/70's but I think
there may be another tenth or two left.

Just before I left IHRA in 2002 I was able to get approx 10% reduced off some of the cool old cars that were not competitive. I believe your combo was one of them?
