[349Stroker]

thats a mid 8 ride too. must be nice to have two 8 second cars

[map351]

I think Don Nase jr had the quickest 2.3 turbo base power.. 7.414 / 183.980

guy down the road from me in orbisonia

If I was that close, I would be using Fred as an engine builder :D I'm a good distance from him and he will probably do my next shortblock :D

BTW - I have not heard of him doing much with the Pinto lately. They are running those pro-stick races pretty serious with the Probe.

[yeahloh95]

yes he does do good machine work , he is not far from me either

[biminiLX]

BTW, how many inches do you get with a tall deck SVO block like that?
I'm guessing its bigger than 2.3L ;)

Most guys don't tell ;)

A lot of them are in the 2.85 range and grow over time. Most guys leave room to fix them if they dink a hole so they usually start out smaller and grow them :D There where only ~100 of those blocks made so they command a huge premium when they go on the market.

This engine in Joe's car, House, Nase, and Hubers all run the tall deck stuff. Joe does have other "small" engines and Nace has moved on to the 2.0 ecotec program in a dragster last I knew.

Fast Dave Flanders is the guy doing amazing things with a production 2.5 block :D

[97LaserRed]

Holy Frank that's fast!!!

[PaceFever79]

Bad ride! Which part is Pinto?

[biminiLX]

Wow, nice, and I'm assuming it'll take more than 24psi right? ;)
-J

[map351]

I think 30+.

[Martin0660]

Everything is sized for 30+, heard talk of 35 psi in the end. Joe is having eye issues, but the car is supposed to be with us at Columbus NMRA with Fast Dave Flanders at the wheel.

Joe commented that the goal was to get tossed from open comp for being too fast

[Steve-0]

Jebus that's fast! Looks badass too

[92306gt]

And who said pintos arent cool?

And who said pintos arent cool?

That one sure is!

[map351]

"Joe Laramee went 8.75 at 154 MPH last night at Gateway in St Louis. Not bad for a blow through carb setup that everybody knows wont work."

[yeahloh95]
