Must be leaving a bit soft.

Maybe. My video of it didnt look soft but when I know they got after it, the thing SMOKED the tires.

Our small block stuff is all 904 case/shafts. Our big block stuff for class is 727 case with 727 input/ shafts/converter and 904 internals (pricey). Bracket big block stuff is 904 with adaptor(not class legal) with 904 convertor and shafts. Confusing enough?

ps Raining like crazy at my place 20mi. as crows fly from track!

A 1.40 60' ?....I'd blame the tuner. His chassis builder is top notch in my book.

Chris "drooze" Wertman · 02-05-2010, 11:28 PM

Im betting he didnt spin past 8k on the dyno either

Could be wrong, just saying.......

8 grand? Quit it!, quit it!, quit it!!!!!.....Trust me. Espeically if your engine was put together anywheres close to our's and you trust your supplied DP engine without a complete tear down and blue print re-assembly, your engine may not make it to Pomona.

I'm sure I'll get flamed, probably BIG time, but I'm not at all impressed with Stanton Racing or Diamond piston's at this point. I'd like to know what Stanton got paid to slap together our DP engine. Maybe they kept the cost down by hiring Wyotech grad's? j/k, however I would of rather had our engine shipped to us in parts.
