Ok Paul I’ll bite, why not... did the culprit bolt before a request could be made? Was he there for eliminations or just took the trophy and ran?

The engine was still sealed from a teardown last fall ..... Maybe someone can highlight us as to why he was removed from the ladder...?

Additionally, FYI , he was torn down (again) at Gainesville.

Also, he wasn't removed from the ladder, he was a no show. ( probably because his engine was completely apart ...)

I take it you were there Jim watching these tear downs. Hard to believe a stock bore production engine can seal up that well to make near 600hp. If not more! He goes .325 green and catches a second under competitor by the 660' is amazing all in its own. He has plenty left after coasting from the 1100' mark for all the F,G and still H cars now even at 322hp. Might need a better reaction though. That's what happens when you show that kinda performance. You bring extra gaskets.

Looks like stock bore is 3.920 and MAX bore is 4.000. Thats .080 over and Diamond makes an approved piston for it, not to mention it is a +18 cc dome piston. Seems pretty easy other than you need a couple dead bodies in the trunk to make weight lol Also he only went 60 to 80 under last year. I think the engine really likes the bigger, lighter, better ring package, pistons.....just saying

I have said this before. I was the one who got the piston approved which happened the last few days of Jan 2021. The only thing available before that time (The record set in Nov 2020) had to be a OEM piston. Chrysler doesn't make an oversized piston. You can buy an oversized piston from other vendors but that isn't approved. That is why I worked with Diamond and NHRA to get it excepted. It took a while. Is it stock bore, Left and right offset piston with a press on pin like stock OEM? If so it is good to go or does he claim stock piston and it isn't?
