Wow, the 1986 V8 truck runs heads up with 1986 V6 truck. Tom

Re: U/SA 1.204 Under @ Brainerd
 

:confused: Looks like the truck got more horsepower because of 1.29 under at Reading. Now it has 195, same as the factory rated 283 2 barrel in the early/mid 60's - WOW. Here's a couple of questions. How much is left in that combination? Also, how soon will it be a natural Q class car? Just wondering and should invite some good responses.

It will be fun to watch that truck (trucks) work it's way up. Hope I get to race it when it gets to "O" and there are some guys already worried in "L" and "M" LOL

Re: U/SA 1.204 Under @ Brainerd
 

Hi Rick,
If it makes it to "L", it will be rated near 260 HP. It won't be all that competitive rated that high so I doubt TOO many races in "L" or "M" would be concerned.

So how's that AZ sunshine?

Re: U/SA 1.204 Under @ Brainerd
 

Well the 305ci flat top motor in a 1983 malibu wagon is rated 253hp and can run high 11s in M/SA. So what will a 350ci motor at 255-260 hp will run? Your right Dean it would not be a good M/SA and L/SA combo, It could only run around 11.50-11.65 in M/SA which is only -1.00 to -1.20 under. I know I want no part of it with my 230hp 305 wagon combo and I went 12.08 in O/SA at Belle Rose a few years ago.

Dean, Sun has been great,,, raining today of course. I've been down for a while, dropped a valve in the car in early June, then a motorcycle accident in late June. Been rehabbing and building a motor. Charlie, I hope I can get my car in the 12.0s with the new motor and you did that YEARS ago......

Re: U/SA 1.204 Under @ Brainerd
 

I hope no one mistook what I meant. At 260, it will still be competitive, that's for sure. But I doubt a 1.550 under run will come as easy when rated that high.

My stuff is not fast and everyone knows it. And I'm used to looking at tailights.

But I think there are a few Firebirds, a Ram pickup, a Mustang, and a Cutlass that run in "L" that can give it a run.
