    Thanks for posting those STAGE 0.too bad you didn't wait a little longer it really went up in the air to my surprise. the sixty foots were in the mid 1:30's. This was the maiden voyage for the new hood I can't believe the difference in performance it made.The weather was exceptional but the short time was a half a tenth better and picked up a couple tenths in our short little track.can't wait to get over to mission raceway in june and get that 9 second timeslip . :3gears:

    What weekend in June are you coming over? I don't race but I would love to see a 9 sec. run. I came out to watch Chris do a 9's run last year but he never quite made it. Maybe I'll bring better luck to you! :laugh:

    Jeff it is a fairly simple combo a 508 solid 491 cubes 12.8 compression stock cast stroker crank crower rods ta intake and just a little 1000 holley.I am switching to a 1150 dominator for the next race to see how it compares.These stroker buicks with aluminum heads make awesome torque I don't think I am going to need to put the 4:10 gears to run in the nines and none of the other brand xers can believe that a car can perform like that with 3.73s but it is a buick :Brow:

    Bet you see quite a difference with the dominator!

    Jeff I hope too but the way it worked by just putting the hood on the 1000 probabley has enough to get the 9 sec. But we will definetley try that Dom.the last trip down the 1/4 I think the carb was way too close to the top of the stock hood only had just over an inch clearance. can't wait. :3gears:
