SS/B Record

[Travis Miller]

Since I did not work the Indy points meet I have not seen the car in person. Should see it at Norwalk LODRS. If Dick Butler is correct about 3 T-Bolts showing up at Bowling Green Open May 24-25 running Top/SS, we will have three to compare.

Travis,
Matt Dahl is from Vegas. I do not think they are planning the trip East this season but Ray Paquet should be here. Also Dallas Kelly's Thunderbolt "Wrecking Crew" is getting along also. Completion date is not sure yet. THIS WILL BE another " Hot One" for us to watch. We need a Stick Vette to enter too. Hope Dickie Ogles is ready to run with us in Bowling Green.

That would be hard to police since I don't know of a spec on the height.
Again, great looking car as well as killer fast for as new as it is.

Stewart,
Can't believe you would mention that with the "inline/crossram" Hemi intakes and the questionable hood scoop heights on some of the Hemi cars! LOL

Say it isn't so! Tim has always been a MOPAR guy?! LOL! I'm not surprised he is setting records. Anything built by him, that I have seen, has been fast. Congrats to Tim and the record holders! Wish I were going to the Beech...

So that does that mean a teardown is in the future?

Yea, I was a little shy about bringing the plate/scoop height up but since I'm building a GT car with a scoop, I'm trying to figure out what is legal under the scoop. On the carb issue, Chevy started it. Just kidding, but remember the old Tarantula (I think) BBC intake that turned the carb close to 45 degrees. I was a tech man then and I remember the stir it caused. Then in 94 NHRA drew the line on how much cross could be removed. 1/2 inch cross is still crossed, just not what we are used to seeing. As far as the AH scoop height, they look okay to me. Ha Ha Ha.

Stewart,
I had a friend when I was in high school that bought a 454 Corvette new in ’72 and immediately went through the motor and put a Tarantula intake on it with an 850 Holley and I thought that was one neat looking set up. It was also one wicked street car too. By the way, I bet those Hemi scoops do look okay to you!

Stewart, if he was to use the airbox with the ducting, and did his homework...I am confident the car would go faster. Also, due to its location, the larger teardrop opening is not a performance advantage.
