Blown, injected, 4-valve CJ's at Ennis...

Bill, they originally had Schneider C-4's in them, Rusty Hall had a problem @ Arizona Nationals. They now have JPT (Jim Pacquet) C-4's in them and are performing a lot better, i.e. 9.79 @ 140.17 at Dallas. They did break a imput shaft and I checked out the C-4 and loaned them another one (imput shaft). They are so quite you would think they had mufflers, but they don't. And they do get down the track very quickly.

Thanks for the info, RJ. I wasn't aware of the change in tranny guys. Sorry for the mis-information; Len's stuff is usually top-flight.

I guess when you start putting 700+ horsepower through a transmission designed for a Pinto, (LOL!) you can expect that it might have longivity problems....

Bill, when you started this thread , you stated that you used a weight of 3358 lbs. for your HP calculations. In another thread on this forum, titled "More enhancement", someone, who claimed to have been there when the car in question driven by Jimmy Holzman went across the scales, states that the weight was 3485 lbs. Try plugging that into your calculator; 127 additional lbs. should make a significant difference.

Gentleman, I think NHRA will change Stock Eliminator to 1970 and newer vehicles before they move these Mustangs out of Stock!

Rtaylor,
The joke is on nhra. We don't expect them to change a thing.

John,
The rear wheel horsepower v. flywheel horsepower seem a little off. Check the Moroso calculator and see what you get.

Chad,
