The damage recently done

[super trick]

And for "Super Trick", I raced D/S last about 7 years ago. My ET's were 10.55-10.65 here in Arizona; never made it to a sea level track. And that was with a .457" cam, cast iron intake and 4300 Autolite. I'd suggest if you have a comparable D/S or D/SA car, you should be able to do better with 7 years in advancements. But I doubt it.

So 7 years years you spent a bunch of time,money and had a soft NHRA HP rating and ran fast? Boy don't hurt your arm patting your self on the back. Lets talk about what time and money (and low HP combos) cant buy, World championship, a race win. A couple things i don't here you talk about. There are plenty of people on here that post that have championships,race wins,records,# 1 qualifying you never here them talking about what they have done. Why? It's something called "CLASS". It's nice to think that some racers still have it.

First off, my D/S AMX was rated @ 315 HP. The same as the aforementioned 390 Mustangs at the time with their "improved" parts list. So if a Mustang 390 with larger oil pan, manifold and carb were "soft" but still weighed the same as my AMX, then I guess we were both "soft". And you also have no clue as to how much testing I've done, engines and clutches I've lost testing the limits.
Second, in one sentence you say you don't hear me talking about world championships, or race wins. Next sentence you say of those with such accomplishments, they don't mention it. Which end are you talking from?
Third, on the subject of class, you might notice I don't hide behind a screen name. Talk about classless!

Hey Super Truck.....go ahead and post your successes. I would like to see them and congratulate you. To Jeff's defense (and he needs none)....He built his car before he wanted to spend so much time with his children. Therefore, his priorities have shifted (pun intended)....

all this sounds like there's gonna be 400 amc stockers built over the winter

yeah, right...

oh yeah, should i be bent out of shape because damn near everybody can have beercan heads and i'm stuck with cast iron?

290 amc's can't run aluminum heads... and as far as the "BIG HUGE ADVANTAGE" the R4B is,well, "dated" comes to mind...$$$ is another...

at least it'll be something different than another camaro/mustang/challenger.....HEY!!!
WAIT A MINUITE!!, i remember seeing a javilin ad back in '69 that had a 6/71 blower on it!

wonder where THAT was in the group 19 section .....


this is pure sarcasm and to be taken as such...

Wow the 343 in GT with aftermarket heads is 270HP, 202 intake with the 3310 which flows 800 cfm on my bench. Built properly this motor should make 600 HP, if I was an AMC guy, I'd stuff that baby in a Gremlin and fly.

Yes Jeff 315 HP is a soft HP. Testing,motors,clutches it's time and money u spent great. Anybody who has been on this forum at least twice in their life know that u set the record and qualified #1. Every other post your reminding us of how fast you went,set the record and top qualifier. You bought those achievements. When you win that first race or that first championship( takes skill and talent) then you might impress someone besides you!!!

BTW ..My name is Steven Whitmore from Iowa. Hurry,Hurry type it in Google!!

Hey Steven, I was born and raised in SW Iowa. I left there after I was drafted in 1966. I have gone back to visit relatives.......each time I go there, I remember why I left....LOL I don't understand why you are going after someone that you think has a "soft combo". Let me ask you, if you were to build a car today, would you build one with a "hard combo"? Probably not. So why criticize some one that has built a car and qualified well and set records? As the old saying goes "is is better to have been a has been that has done it, than someone that never was".....

Good Grief!

Another meaningful discussion devolving into a name-calling character assassination contest. Passion is one thing, but really, can't we get beyond this?

Just be thankful there aren't more Dealer Installed Options OK'd for Stock Eliminator. Didn't Randall AMC put a 401 in a Gremlin back in the day?

This too shall pass!

Lew, the Randall 401 has been submitted to NHRA for approval, the same with the 1969 'Cuda 440-Six Pack...(the first prototype 1969 440 'Cuda had a Six Pack engine), the Motion V-8 Vega's, the Mr.Norm's Duster with the 340-6 Pack too... just kidding!!!
