When I got into this stock eliminator deal I figured … This is just a bracket race
Until I got whooped in a heads up against Tex Miller Guess what I went to the fastest guy with a nova 350/255 B&B performance That cost me a bunch of $$. Car was not fast Heads where ported I asked how’s this possible. Well we push the rules we know this is good. Glen Briglio Well after that I went to Bub. Asked him for a fast engine. Bub said no porting. Needed we do it right Bub said is gonna cost $$. Guess what. It was fast and legal proven at tear down Point being just beacaue you have good parts and professional engine builder. Don’t mean your gonna be fast. I go to a professional to be legal and fast. Why is this frowned on to make your car as fast as possible with rules given? Like Barry pointed out. Different strokes for different folks We all race to go fast … but we do it differently according to rules provided $$$ and hard work is what it takes. By the way Tilburg does my motor because I want the best Like Barry. And you

Barry, how much did all of these modern changes raise the peak RPM potential of your combo? That and the "enhanced" heads and intake is where all of the gains are being made.
Just an FYI, you seem to be assuming that all of my stuff is 30 years old. The Pontiac and the Gold Nova have state-of-the-art short blocks and valvetrains in them. As for the "modernizing" that Doug is trying out, we'll see.

I have a problem with Racers who have a problem with the AHFS rules, following the AHFS rules and complaining when they get caught up in the enforcement of those AHFS rules.

"It’s funny that you bring up the “challenge” of bringing one of Billy’s combinations “into 2022.” I’m currently in the process of redoing the engine in the 6 cylinder nova. I pretty much have been doing everything that I have been told as far as using more modern parts. This includes a more modern lobe style cam, rocker and spring combo, and a different ring package. The pistons I left alone being that they are very good quality to begin with, and I’m not sure an aftermarket rod will help a sub 6,500rpm motor. Going to try a good 3 speed as well over the powerglide. The things I have changed have all helped make the higher horsepower cars as fast as they are today. Time will tell if the 6 cylinder will appreciate such parts."
Doug, what was your best time with the old combo and where do you hope to be when it gets back to the track? Just curious and good luck with your project.

And thank you it almost sounds like you gave me a compliment. We were there also when you bought Freds car and you know we would have helped you in any way we could. BP Last edited by B Parker; 02-06-2022 at 01:15 AM. |
