Your good for another year on the belts.

Thanks for the input. John, I would love to make a July race. I'm in Fresno and planned to do all the ANRA races this year. But, inadequate oil pressure, and a damaged #2 main bearing caused me to do a complete tear down. But, it will come back to life with a new roller cam, 4-7 timing swap, and larger valves with extensive porting.
I have found a tune expert here in Fresno that has access to Whipple and their dyno. So, after we get the motor back together, in the car, and on the dyno, I'll try to get in some test and tune.
It's an all steel 55 Chevy, but Carl seems to think with the new build, we should see some high 10's at least.
If I don't make Famoso in July, I am still hopeful to be at the August ANRA meet.

Here's my take on the subject of going faster/quicker. Anybody that has ever raced will tell you it will NEVER be, FAST ENOUGH, OR QUICK ENOUGH! So my advice is to just build it "safe and sound" and go have fun.

The classes that that ran this past weekend had car after car running right on their index's, for example we ran 11.62 on a 11.60 index and only made it to number two qualifier missing the #1 qualifier bonus $50 by .002. We made four passes all between 11.57 and 11.68. We had great R/T's all weekend, the worst was a -.029 red to a .029 and a perfect .000 R/T during qualifying and still only made it two rounds because of the stiff competition in E/G. Did we have fun, YOU BET!

Even in the 8.60, 9.60, and 10.60 index classes the close competition was just the same. So bring you stuff, make some passes and find a class that is close and have at it. As you start running faster, and more consistent just move up to a quicker class and it starts all over again. Think of Burt Munroe from the movie Worlds Fastest Indian............The Gods of Speed will require many parts donations, LOL.
