Ernie, Yeah Im thinking that that 850 single 4bbl is going to be maxed out with the stroker I was planning. Already bought the manifold though. When you add up the flow from all ports you can see why they invented the Dominator etc.
That video was a good one. Showed the braking of an all out racer too, Did you see how much speed he was able to scrub off while approching that white porsche and just before that switchback? I mean he went from over 200 to less than 40 in no time. And it was so smooth too. Just amazing stuff. Not the best cinematography and could have used a cleaner windshield and without the glare from the dash but still it was almost like being there. What did the Hot Rod Lincoln song say ? Telephone poles passing bye like a picked fence". Thats what those trees looked like. You could sense that if you left the track at that speed, youd end up a 1000' from the pavement. I can see why people come back year after year to Le Mans. I wonder if the old cars still get a chance to use that course during the year?

When it comes to setting up a car If I had my choice of anyone living or dead, I'd choose Ken Miles. If he said Webers work better than carbs Id take it to the bank. Ken passed more people than almost anyone and knew what it took to get the jump on the other driver and the choose the right angle of pursuit. I bet he used the quicker response and low end torque from those webers to edge out a lot of drivers. He was truely an amazing man and one of the worlds best drivers. Not nearly enough is ever said about him. Ok... Im off my soap box now.
