That may be true but John A. likely had a hand in teaching all of us.

Thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years and my crew of friends for always being available to help when it's race time. It's guys like Gary H. who have always encouraged me to strive for a new goal, assisted me in all aspects of the car, and helped me make adjustments that eventually provide us with the knowledge to better the car's performance.

I truly want to stay bolt-on for a while but have an opportunity to run an event that I always wanted to participate which allows a cam. So it's either bolt-on, cam only, or high rpm race motor.

Not sure where to go now. lol

1) Stay cam-only and optimize and run WCF again.
2) Do heads and see what it will run SBE 346 H/C.
3) Go back to bolt-ons with stock exhaust and shoot for an 9 then let my wife race it.
4) Put the 388ci in and shoot for an 8.
5) Put the 396ci (~950fwhp) and see what it will run then find a class to fit in.
6) Stay in retirement as planned and try and sell some stuff.

#2...With a conventional diaphragm clutch. Would like to see how high the bar could be set in a "street car" form.

Not sure I have the energy for #5 but #1 would be pretty simple.
I would just have to put back in the m6 and swap out the street clutch I've been running for the race unit and shift the car high.

I would choose#3, and then what ever # you wanted after would be a team effort.

Yeah. #3 would be my first choice if I was to even race anymore.
Considering we ran 10.02 on a 1.438 around 0 da tells me the 9 is achievable. The street clutch I've been running is around 45lbs. I have other clutches that will et better. One is under 20lbs and should 60' in the mid 1.3x's. It all would depend on what the goal is as I see many other ways to shave et. And the wife is 80#'s less...
