Hey, Bruce...you too funny.

This thread has me thinking of all those times people said Jim Hand was full of ***** about his wagon's combo.

Here's my combo, for comparison:

.030" over 455 with 4.25" crank (467)
BME rods, Ross pistons
solid roller, "around" .630" lift, 272 intake @ .050" (I forgot the exhaust specs), 110-lda, installed at 106 int. c/l
ported 62's flowing "around" 250-cfm (I was told 248cfm on a 4.15" bore @ 28")
Torker-2, extrude-honed and port matched to heads
Holley 850 (reworked to reportedly flow 930)
1-7/8" headers
th400
10" TCI nitrous convertor
3.73 gears

3840 lbs. (per Norwalks' scales)

Ran a best of 10.30 @ 131 with a 1.46 60' at Norwalk on a 210-HP shot of nitrous. Combo was "fat" on the tuneup, showing color on some plugs as far up as 3 threads.

Has run a best of 10.12 @ 135 with a tire spinning 1.58 60' at Budd's Creek (MIR) which is a "sea level" track (got it on video). This was done with a 250-HP shot. Weather conditions on that run were 58 degrees and 97% humidity. Nitrous tuneup was still "fat".

All nitrous runs were made with 9 degrees of timing pulled out (for a total of 27 degrees).
