I may not be Ronnie Sox, but I still would not let him have a few cold ones and romp on my car even if I only have 8 plugs. Great pictures!

Let's keep alcohol fueled dragster's on the track, not on the street.
And hey! Let's be careful out there.

Now......a 7800 r shift AIN"T my normal practice on the street...thanks for all the advise. I know the engine can handle it with the Valve train that it has, BUT, a donation The Connecting Rod God or any other Valvetrain God is one I don't want to make! As for the cam as some have asked, it has .617 lift in. &amp; exh w/110 C/L. The duration is 317 int. and 252 exh. It's a roller. One part that I trust is the Jesel rockers and the Solid Front T.C. cover from Comp Cams; no cam walk.
Now.....as for being "achohol charged"........Thanks again...BUT I had 2 and would never drink and drive! As for understanding the geometry of a Big Block and REALLY having the desire to go fast......I can and have...like 170mph in 8.2...I've only went up the road once in this! Now...THAT WAS INTENSE just cruising and rattling the throttle a bit just for kicks! The local police who I know told me NEVER to do it again...Dang! See Attached!

Spin-em! Rev them like a small block! Thats why the stock eliminator boys like the 396 over the 427 for the stick cars because you can rev them higher and a little less H.P. factor. Ronnie Evans spins his nostalgic 63 409 Impala at 8,000 with a Jerico 4 speed and a 409 crank.
