Re: U/SA 1.204 Under @ Brainerd
 Looks like the truck got more horsepower because of 1.29 under at Reading. Now it has 195, same as the factory rated 283 2 barrel in the early/mid 60's - WOW. Here's a couple of questions. How much is left in that combination? Also, how soon will it be a natural Q class car? Just wondering and should invite some good responses.

Re: U/SA 1.204 Under @ Brainerd
It will be fun to watch that truck (trucks) work it's way up. Hope I get to race it when it gets to "O" and there are some guys already worried in "L" and "M" LOL

If it makes it to "L", it will be rated near 260 HP. It won't be all that competitive rated that high so I doubt TOO many races in "L" or "M" would be concerned. So how's that AZ sunshine?

Re: U/SA 1.204 Under @ Brainerd
Well the 305ci flat top motor in a 1983 malibu wagon is rated 253hp and can run high 11s in M/SA. So what will a 350ci motor at 255-260 hp will run? Your right Dean it would not be a good M/SA and L/SA combo, It could only run around 11.50-11.65 in M/SA which is only -1.00 to -1.20 under. I know I want no part of it with my 230hp 305 wagon combo and I went 12.08 in O/SA at Belle Rose a few years ago.

Re: U/SA 1.204 Under @ Brainerd
Dean, Sun has been great,,, raining today of course. I've been down for a while, dropped a valve in the car in early June, then a motorcycle accident in late June. Been rehabbing and building a motor. Charlie, I hope I can get my car in the 12.0s with the new motor and you did that YEARS ago......

Re: U/SA 1.204 Under @ Brainerd
I hope no one mistook what I meant. At 260, it will still be competitive, that's for sure. But I doubt a 1.550 under run will come as easy when rated that high.
My stuff is not fast and everyone knows it. And I'm used to looking at tailights. But I think there are a few Firebirds, a Ram pickup, a Mustang, and a Cutlass that run in "L" that can give it a run.
