VERY cool Verne!!!

Pit duties and turning wrenches are one thing, but Ronnie makes the decisions that make him go faster and faster! And he's the one in the car when it goes that fast!

And as Verne will attest to is that our man Pete Suriano "Petes Automotive" from Pottstown/Phoenixville, Pa. is the master mind behind Ronnies and a few other FAST 409 guys on the east coast! Attention to detail is a must for an 09 and that is what these guys do best! Pete is a master at massaging the 409 iron heads to make a lot of horsepower. Congrats on all fronts! Have any drag strip pictures Verne?

COOL VERY FAST!! My kind of car.

I don't have any recent ones Sam. There's a video I took of his first 9.sec run at E-town but it's on someone else's camera. I'll take mine with me when we go out again and see what I can get.

And you're right about Pete. The little details count for a LOT. The last motor he did for Ronnie was just 417cid and he was running 10.30s.

Hey Verne, When you guys change the rear Ronnie will be running mid 50's-60's always I bet!

[Verne_Frantz]

I appreciate the optimism Sam, but Ronnie says the .38s may only give us a tenth. It would be nice to be surprised though... I have a hunch that gear change will do more than that because the car is a 4-speed. (rather than a 5-speed). It RPMs instantly and has a long flat torque curve at the top.

Also consider that none of the 9.sec runs have produced his best 60' time. Suspension changes are also on the list. There are a few ways we can knaw on those 2 tenths we need.........
