Really cool. I would think this a candidate for some Mickey radials. Beard has about 3000 runs on his. Okay maybe closing in on 400.

-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

It started life as a 6.1, 370 cu in. It's now 420" .010 over, +.500 stroke

I do have another 420" engine build in progress, it will be much more " appropriate"..........for bracket racing.

I changed to the single plane intake that's in the pictures from a dual plane and upped the launch RPM.

Thanks Fern.

That's what I thought too. 9.5# in that picture, I have since gone up to 10#, but also raised the launch RPM 800....
