look quote me where i said "man you have to put a damn cam in your motor " no where did i ever say that, i just simply stated it would have to help to some degree. :thumb:
Do you have definitive proof of that claim?

My first time slip was in '63.
12.96 @ 111mph Never forget the first one. I was nervous.

Mine was 1960 and they gave it to you on an etched rock.

Dang I'm a :baby: my first pass wasn't until 2000..... But, I have made up for it for being the hot lapping www :witch:
In White Out? LOL come on Ken you know that won't happen
Do you Nick? Yes no maybe so? :hug:
You never know, stranger things have happened. Mind you it would have to be Pat and not Kat driving. She'd cut too good a light.
OK here it goes....this is simply my opinion based on my experiences, and only to give Beech some more info. I've raced a bone stock motor(bolt ons and nitrous) two full seasons, with 105 passes. Half of those passes were 11.0?. Finally cracked a piston. Next was a full built motor(rods, forged pistons, stage 1 heads, balanced, etc, etc, with s475, 60 overs, and nitrous) approx $10,000 involved. This motor made four passes on spray, and four passes on motor(half of these were 1/8 mi). Best pass of 10.71 1/4 mi, and 6.59 1/8 mi. It melted a hole through one piston and the other seven were heavily deteriorated. Next motor was "play time". 85,000 mi, bone stock junker........with the s475 and nitrous. Four, low 11, 1/4 mi, motor only passes. Three, 6.60, 1/8 mi, with spray(Schied event) Last pass bent every rod in her, and grenaded the track. Current motor, like Trent said, is a stock motor with a rod swap. I pulled the stockers, put in my rods, my stage one heads(fresh off the blown up built motor), studs, my s475, and the spray.(no machine work, no keys, no torque plate, no hone) 10 passes so far, all on nitrous. Half are 1/4 mi, with a 10.24 best so far. Half are 1/8 mi, with a 6.62 best. Still running strong. Just waiting for better weather, or the Bradenton race, whichever comes first:thumb: Beech, take this for what its worth. I hope it helps.
Im diggin up an old heated thread but Camomax, hows this rodded swapped motor doing out of curiosity?
I would have shot them boththis thread is a bigger shit show then when my buddies started tazering people in a bar for no ****ing reason:roflmao:
It melted every piston in it just like the other motors before it. It had a handfull of passes and was pulled. The guy that bought the motor has it at my shop now getting ready to put some Arias pistons in it and try again. Jeff
