Ya know Doug, I know that this doesn't count for much BUT the Natl. Record is at a minimum. That means that the Natl. Record is at a 15.10. You have gone .015 faster than the record!

Billy, Can you show us a picture of that exhaust manifold when you get it off?

If you are going to pull the head for the record, it would be a go time to swap out the head for a updated one. If I could remember how to post pics I could post one of a exhaust manifold. Tom

Would it be feasible to use a stick one of these cars?

Isn't that rule for V8, not 4 cyl?

CLUTCH, FLYWHEEL, FLYWHEEL SHIELD
Clutch and flywheel meeting SFI Spec 1.1 or 1.2 (2-disc
maximum) mandatory. Steel flywheel shield meeting SFI Spec
6.1 mandatory on all V-8 cars with a clutch. Flywheel shield
cannot be modified for clutch adjustment and/or cooling holes.

4 and 6 cylinders don't need a flywheel shield. They do need an approved clutch and flywheel.
