Took her out for the first time in two and a half months.
left her with a full tank of real gas Non Ethanol fuel.
She ran great!!
Sunny and 70 today.
After huge Ice storm and no power for three days.

U sure bout this?
U referring to Domestics correct?

I'll help ya out busting this myth.
actually going to be funny if I make it through this without being called a Bull Snitter.
I have been involved in high end two and four wheel motorsports the better part of my life.
I currently sell and draw Ti Lollipops for a living, there are pret much only two Mfg's in the country that Mfg High end Ti, one in the West and here one in the East.
I already know back in the 60's or early 70's making 5.399 hp per CI in a Iron Normally Aspirated motor on gas never happened, But I thought I'd check round the hood on this.
I live in the north end of Randleman, out the back window down the hill and over the creek is Camp Victory Junction, Petty's.
The Petty Museum is in the middle of a move from Randleman to it original location in Level Cross (Home of the Petty's) or better known as Petty's Garage, a two gas station crossing. I'm not family friends or Buds just acquainted as a occasional customer. Mr Petty is normally only in the office on Wednesday's in between races to autograph customer memorabilia. Mr Petty debunked the myth with a laugh he would have liked half that 2,300 hp.
Mr Petty does not like to be referred to as the "King" and will never sign a autograph as the King, There is only one King and he aint it. according to him.
Then my way home from work is another customer Petty's ol Drag race buddy, I'll just call him Roy, still operating a drag race school Roy is a piece of work.
Roy laughing indicating the same, His Pro-Mod dragsters are only doing like 2,500 hp to date. Supercharged.
Then I though i'd call one of my mentor's, The winner of the 1972 Top Fuel World finals, I'll just call him Waldo. He's retired in Wilkesboro now.
Waldo racing top Fuel in the Sixties and early Seventies has just a little knowledge of Hemi's totally myth busted.
so there ya go, believe it or not.

Lets not forget that the 358ci Small Blocks of today make mucho more HP than the Big Blocks of yesteryear. More reliable also.
Much safer, a bunch of legends are dead because of going 200+ in the cars of yesteryear.
Racing was much more fun when Tires were skinny, Drivers were Fat and Steering wheels were Big.

No falling out, nothing wrong with Penzoil in a passenger car, they just do not mfg. a Racing oil.
This is easy guy's, there are only Three Oil Co's that Mfg, True Racing Oil.

There is no Motorex in the orange Bikes or Athena Pistons.
We used to dump out the Motorex and refill with Rotella before leaving to the venue back before Rotella removed a large amount of Zinc, Sulphur and Phosphorus.
Race Cars/Bikes/Motorsports doesn't run on Fuel, Oil or Hot Rod parts it runs on $$$$$$$$

They are what you make of them.
The little GY-6 has plenty of room for a few more reliable hp.
All I see are fundamental's overlooked leading to failure.
I have to say the ole "IF I had a dime for every wrench who does know how to install a circlip" Yup Circlip!
Put the Craftsmen down and slowly back away from the Scoot.

Good Stuff!
Thanks!
I'm in the midst of a 61mm BB and a 2mm stroker, and looking for this type of gearing to start with.
