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!
Mousie Brown used to run a 1962 409/409 Impala Convertable A/S at Aquasco, Manassa Va., and Capitol when I was running my 65 Plymouth. He usually ran high 12,s and low 13's back in the early 60's. He was partnered with an "ANNABEL WALKER" (spel ?) with Brown & Walker on the quarter pannel. I believe SHE owned the car. In 1966 Mousie got a 66 427 Biscayne and later either a 66 or 67 396/375 HP Chevelle. Then came either a 68 or 69 396/375 Chev nova with a turbo 400.
