A wee bit more horsepower than rating and 1.68 under on shake down run! Impressive bullet from an impressive engine builder! |

Those boys have built some fast COPOs!
Constantly refining ring packages, honing, etc. The machine work they have done for me had been dead nuts. I buy most of my engine parts there also. Much of it on the shelf.

Really nice article and meticulous attention to detail.
Pro 'stock' eliminator indeed. .......and to think people grumble about racing against some of the IHRA Crate motor cars.

Look at the diff between the horsepower of the stick vs the automatic ...........

Oops, I guess I drastically underestimated the number of guys running a manual COPO by 2. Every one I've seen has had an auto.
btw, of all the guys running CJs, COPOs & DPs, there's what, a dozen or so guys running a stick? It's what I would run!

I've been told by a reliable source that these engines are about $48K. As soon as I hit the lottery I'm going to order one.

ROFLMAO. An extremely successful (makes a living racing) friend who shall remain nameless, told me that in 2008 he could make over $15K on a win in Stock, he said that by 2012 it was $5K at best. You do the math.
