Re: Announcement!!!!

Question... how can an engine be GUARANTEED to run the track in a certain amount of time?

I would think that would have more to do with the drivetrain than the engine? What am I not understainding?

(pfsh... hemi ... IN A 57 CHEVY? )

Re: Announcement!!!!

factoring our weight, altitude, and the fact that we bought the complete driveline excluding rear end(but we have the same ratio and tire size) he guaranteed that we would see 6.30 from it
