Rule of thumb for me is:
One h.p. per cubic inch is standard operating procedure. Any builder that can't reach that goal with a streetable engine has missed the mark beg time.
Yo Clois,,,, what ET were you running with those 3rd gear clutch burning runs? I'm really interested because of the high gear ratio I run in the ERA.
3.31 rear with a trans 2.31 1st gear (close ratio top loader). End result is 60+mph in first gear. Despite that (or because of it?) I run 11.90 at 121.27 mph with a 2.0 60 ft time.
...and now back to our low h.p. program.
