Sorry for the late response but for 2009 I'm trying to use the computer LESS...too much to do around here! Those are pretty decent times for the '09 given the time period you ran it....the tires compared to TODAY and Track conditions then.....I've heard of the head gasket deal with the '09's before. Trying to find out what a 425hp would do "back in the day" WHEN prepped for class competition....I don't think too many ran that combo back then....409hp and 380hp seemed commonplace. Some guys have tried the 425 hp more RECENTLY as in the last 20 years or so....don't know if anybody was knockin on the 10's though....wonder how Aubrey's doing? Anybody here remember "Mousie Brown" back in the day? I think he held either A/S or B/S record for a while with a 409hp '62 Chev. post car? I GUESS I could bounce around on the 'Net to one of those 409 sites but consider the info here to be more accurate! BTW Rocky, does the process you mentioned on your 'site replace the earlier dry film coating process? Thanks!
