"60 ft times low 1.20's. Car is 1/8 mile so this is a full pass 5.90 117 mph. Launch at 10,000 and shift 10,200. Car weighs 3150 so hp est between 7 and 800"

A 10.5LB car w a 289 w driver on board needs to weigh roughly 3030......however "duster nash " claims the cars weighs 3150......first of all , why carry the additional weight , if in fact he's even accurate........and secondly , its doubtful that little engine is making more than 675 , as opposed to the "between 7 and 8 hundred" he claims. Given he's probably using a shallow valve angle head 15/18deg because thats what it would take?
