You do realize these cars go through an NHRA teardown and I can assure you Jimmy D's is to NHRA spec from that perspective.

TP

I'm Tracy and I have Dyno'd Wikle's engines and been involved to some extent to tuning them, including the one in my Chevelle. You seem to imply that Wikle builds bogus engines and I take exception to that. I can assure you that DeFrank and myself requested and received legal weight components. I have seen them and handled them and installed them, and you have not. You can pay to see them at any race you like and I will gladly make a side bet with you. Let me know when you are ready.

At Indy the motor in the car was rejected by NHRA (ask Keith Lynch) this situation is why I am asking NHRA to re evaluate the 402 / 375 in a 1970 camaro. Perhaps it was not legal at that time and now the combo should be re evaluated and returned to the proper hp hp rating
