  • May go to a BB Chev this year

    Looks like fuel prices are going to go through the roof this year and I do not want to buy race gas. I have a couple of options but I am learry on the E-85
    option as even though it is cheaper, It looks like you can use a ton more of fuel. I talked to Montyboo last fall and when he went to the Grove he runs E-85. still sounds like the savings you get from using E-85 goes away with the large amount you use.
    Scott said that he made more power but went through buckets of the stuff.

    I may go to my tried and true 461 BB add some aluminum heads, Roller cam,
    then spray the crap out of it. The engine went 11.17 in my firebird with a 100 shot letting off @ the end (ran out of gear) of the track. I have some good parts but it still is fun to say I ran a 9 sec time with a wimpy 350:rlol:

    We will have to see, I just like running pump gas like last year. Add 100 cu.in.
    and that sould knock off some time. 12 flat now with a 350 and with some good heads on a 461 car should do 11 teens.

    sure worked good when you tried out that BB a couple of years ago.

        Going to a BB is only about 240 pounds more, So not too bad. The BB is stronger and makes more tq. Down side is that they run hotter and the car does not lift the front end as well.
