since the drag section looks a little quiet, I thought I'd share the motor I built for my '72. 427 running on e85

Nice, appears to have all the brand name heavy hitters. Have you dyno'd it yet? How much did it make? And how much boost?

I hope you own stock in a major tire company cause I see slick tires in your future .

I will say that neither set are average street tires. one set of drag radials and one set of DOT legal race slicks. :D
