    Gary, you had me all excited. I thought you were ready to be triple fast at the Nationals. How much HP can we make with a Buick for $47.500?
    Thanks

    I'd say HMMMMMM, IF I HAD A GOOD BLOCK like some people. I'd have lots of compression and more cam and head flow than the law allows. Super light light weight rotating assembly and we'd put some gear in the old 67 and show these Mopars how to run in the eights with AFBs. But, I'll stop dreaming and do what I can with what I have. Need to enjoy my Championship that I earned going slow.

    My father spent about that much and made 700hp on pump gas and 10psi of boost. The tranny can't take any more at this point so it was set for the lowest setting we could get out of the turbos, but its only a tune up away from 1100hp. He spent toooo much money, but its an awesome peice. Its got the best of everything and idles at 800 rpm like a stocker.

    I wish I could put an F1 blower on one of our 455s with out fear of block destruction, but that will have to wait.

    I would say enjoy your championship for sure mine is hanging on the family room wall with my other plaques and trophy's but it is the coolest for sure.
    The HMMM was for the money if someone had that kind of coin I could be tempted to not own it for sure.
