I have followed and loved Jason and that car since he won the stock championship in the 90s.
Having pursued 455 Buick ownership and drag racing most of my adult life, what Billy said is the real truth. Before the TA cylinder blocks (not legal in stock) hard core high compression Buick 455s regularly split apart in the main saddles-and by regularly I mean every 10-50 passes. spun rod bearings due to the incredibly poor oiling system is considered by some to be just normal operating procedure. I gave up on 11 to 1 combos in the late 90s and settled into 9 to 1 "safe" combos that would last-only high twelves in 4000 lb street trim but no engine removal every 6 months or less.

The ET s I see from Jason's car continue to stun me every time I see it run-those guys are an incredible team making that thing run that hard and live!
