Air was 73* and 1,200', Bradenton should be interesting.

Florida 2005 a BBM set the record and sat on the pole with an 8.83. the BBC went an 8.85 at that race. Unfortunately Goodwin totaled that car in Memphis that year and hasn't been back. There is no reason a BBM can't run at the top under the current rules.
By going by, you mean loaded up in the trailer and heading home after first round of eliminations... rightNMCA - The B1 original is perfect for the XS w/ Nitrous, that combo could run 7's IMO, no need for the MC or PSO (the PSO head does not even exist on NMCA head list even though it is in between the MC and the T/S???? Face it, you guys dont know your B1's, not being rude, just the facts)........but an original B1 is NOT gonna run 30's at Mopars weight, no freakin way......and I dont care if GOD (BES) would build it
When that put put goes by you BES powerplant at RAM, you are gonna find out that index is not the place
First off, don't believe the numbers DCI puts out. The more lift I put in the cam, the more the bore shrouds the valve. There is more to a motor then just the heads, sure they are important but lets look a little further into my hunk of shit. It has a 10.220 deck height. I can not get or make my block any lower then 10.170. My motor comes with 3.25" mains. They advertise that I can run a 4.400 bore but I can't get a 4.350 to seal up. The exhaust ports are siamese with NO water between them. The push rods are almost 11". With a .900 offset, you can't get bigger then a 3/8 to 7/16 push rod in it. There are only 10 head bolts on a 4.600 bore spacing motor. The motor is around 100lbs heavier then a BBC. I can go on...John/NMCA.......
Lets take a look at the Tiger Head vs the B1 original in OTB format going by DCI and Brodix figures.........keep in mind, your head gets 125# weight break......
Tiger - DCI states 400-plus cfm out of the box on the intake side and 450-plus cfm with porting
B1 - Brodix states 396 cfm otb on the intake side and see if anybody can get a B1 original to 450, NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS!!
Your head is better.........Why in the world do you get 125# ??????????? Please help ............Jeff???????
You dont want to get into this debate again, do you Keep in mind, backyard, under .900" lift, homemade chassis.......do I need to go any further, MR. BES/MATUKAS.......You must admit, it will be a little embarrasing when we out 60' ya with our homemade chassis and glide.........:-Daw.070 huh, don't push the tree too hard. You have a motor that is 75" bigger then mine and have to weigh what, 75lbs more?
I know, they freshen your transmissions, you should try their converters sometime......I guess you never got close enough to me on the track to see my rear window. They do my transmissions. I have one sitting there and will pick it up tomorrow. You are proving my point, you are too light with non-maximum effort stuff. The big motors in ram are too light.
I really have not, can you please elaborate for me??? Since we are both BB's you should benefit from this theory???In case you haven't noticed, there are been a couple of racers that the rules have been written around since the inception of the class. You just benifit from it.
