When you qualify at the top as you often do. You remind me of Larry Hill. But yall really don't look alike.

Re: Gt/aa
 

Mr ED! There are a lot of impressive "A" cars out there. Cruzen is fast NO doubt Lawrence makes very impressive runs w/ his older combo as well. But were do you come up w/ the BOGUS comment? A 428 ford @ 375 in a 2010 mustang is so much more bogus than a 428 pontiac @ 335 in a cobalt. HOW??

Re: Gt/aa
 

Frank Grossi a few years ago put an 8.99 on the scoreboard at Vegas. No idea what it factored to, 8.70-something I think. That to me is the most impressive GT/AA run ever. When you can put a time on the BOARD at Vegas faster than 98% of the other cars in your class can run in killer air--you da man.

Jeff, when I was driving mine to work and back for five years before I started messing with it, highway mileage was over 25, and passed emissions easily. How did your 360" Changer do? With all that compression, I wonder how it would like pump gas? With ten more cubic inches, those bigger valves, bigger ports, and big-azzed throttle body, how did they make it put out less hp than mine? They rated it lower. I'm sure Fiat would not try to fudge. If one ran against me in SS/JA, I would have to spot one 40lbs. I might be able to cause one to need all 4 barrels in a heads up.

Ed, that motor you run has been @ 279 HP for 11 1/2 years. If it's that bad, then you need to go to the Larry Hill Institute of Horsepower Manipulation. Or get an LS1. Dime a dozen. I got two we use for doorstops, you can have them. And that thing is a Chevrolet. That means it has been worked on, worked over, massaged, cheated on, pencil whipped, prayed over, had hands put upon, and has parts availability that only a Bowtie can have at 50% the price of any other brand other than Hudson. Now to get back on point, by the aforementioned World Famous Nitro Joe and excluding the 'bogus cars', Jeff Lawrence is the fastest that cared to go fast. Interesting after Jeff Lawrence, there are 10 Jelly Beans before another real car appears in the listing. Mostly Jelly Beans at the top, and big cars at the bottom. What am I missing here?

Re: Gt/aa
 

Sorry, Mr Tilberg, I'm not aware of or familiar with that car. I was refering to the newer blown CJs.

And as to Mr Grossi's car. It is bad fast. Only time I ever saw it run was Indy a couple of years ago. He was not faster than Mr Cruzen THAT weekend. I can not say about other times. Plenty fast, that is for sure. Bob Cruzen and Rock Haas' blown CJ had one heck of a race for class that weekend. Exact same ETs to the thou, Mr Cruzen was something like one thou quicker on the tree? One of the best races I've seen. Mr Grossi has a very nice, very fast car. No doubt. Seems like a great guy.

Re: Gt/aa
 

Difference between you and I, Jeff, is I like you.
Edit: I messed your last post above when I was typing this.

I don't know what Larry Hill did to you. I had nothing to do with it.
I would not ask for a hp reduction, I think a bright person does not build a combo with a too-high hp factor. The problem I have is not mine too high, it's the 360" DP is way too low. I didn't mention the cylinder head air flow numbers. I know what they are, same shop, same flow bench. 60/65 CFM difference is a big deal.
Why would anybody build a big car for GT/AA? A jelly bean would be a better car, all else being equal. Right?

Re: Gt/aa
 

Larry brought me a simi cold beer once. You really don't like those 360 heads. Ed, you just don't like to soupum up too much. Country Dog's LT1(I think that is what they call that thing) makes about 865 hp. I have witnessed it. You doing something wrong. It is really going to be a long winter.

Re: Gt/aa
 

His LT1 does not make that much power, unless you have a seriously mis-calibrated dyno. Nobodies does. You appear to think I'm as dumb as I look. LOL

Re: Gt/aa
 

I think the last time Gary Richard's Cobalt was out he outran every name mentioned thus far.
