last night at Gateway JD Laramee ran in this order:
10.46 @ 133.66
10.15 @ 135.43
10.11 @ 136.88
9.98 @ 137.82
Now keep in mind that this is a 2600lb. Pinto running only 19psi through an iron head and rolling on 8"x26" DOT tires!
"As far as the shortblock is concerned it has a billet crank, titanium rods and pins, je 2 ring pistons and a harmonic balancer..Compession ratio is 10.3to1 it was 13to1 but lowered it by adding metal to deck of head(not cheep!)and it didnt loose anything at all probably because of the bad combustion chamber design to start with.. STILL, BLOWING THRU A CARBURATOR. One last thing,On the last pass i asked Brett Kepner to go look at the tach to see were i was and both he and Kerry said 10,400 (JUST ABOUT RIGHT!),J.D. "
