Ed, the 360 is at 284. That 'super head' is an Edlebrock from about 2003 or 2004. Just got a Mopar # on it, and a higher price. If you think these are good, you should have seen them in Top Stock configuration. What IHRA did in those days, they took the three approved small block motors and gave each one the runner volume, chamber, the same. Do what you want, just pour. All the same. Not a bad method. If you take the 360 DP head, and use the Chev volume, it's worth about 30 more. But then again, I don't know what chevy head they were using. They all look like doorstops.

Nitro, far be it from me to question your published numbers. We all hear about these 'ghost' runs, but they never seem to have scales, fuel, or at some race nobody cares. When I see that 360 go in the 8's, I'm gonna buy it, or trade beer for it. Sure gets the multitudes talking.
I pulled up the formula for Compression Ratio, and LT1 came out about 12 to 1. The Decker motor is published @ 12 to 1. Mine is 11 I think.
As for the fastest run not being in Nitro Joe's, refer to the ghost runs mentioned above. If the runs were not at a points or national race, then all you have is conjucture. You know, as far as I know, if you don't get caught speeding, you don't get a ticket, and it don't go on your record. Probably different in Oklahome and Penn.
