Very happy with 535!!!
I got to run Penwell this weekend. Track was in great shape. My little 535 BBC ran a 7.86 at 173.01mph. At 5208ft of air. I would usually be way upset to lose first round but the pass the little motor made, helped me to get over it a little. I probably couldn't have done it without the help tuning my terminator I got from hammertime, thanks David.

good pass ! that mustang whips our rears dont it :shock:
Let me know what it runs, best running motor I've had so far isnt this 582 it turns good but I had a 548 that ran 4.90/7.70 all the time 10:1 motor was a good bracket motor, twisted it 6800. I'd assume the 582 this year will be faster yet, seems once ya get to this point getting further starts really costing some $$

They were having an outlaw 10.5 show at that race. They're bad for an 1/8 mile. I don't know what would happen if they tried to run a full 1/4. There was one crash and four blown engines just in the 1/8 mile. But one hell of a show. I just wish I could blink my eyes and be in Michigan and that good air for one pass.lol.
