Discussing power upgrades options.

I've also been asked if I've ever been in Bob Halls 385? That it's got more HP than you'll ever need on the street. That in fact it's almost uncontrollable. I've laid eyes many times on his car at Coreys and talked to the old man many times. But last time I was there with him I asked him for a ride in it and he said it needed Corey to do a tune up pretty badly on it because he hadn't diven it in 5 years. Bob said he's done 11.1 at the drag strip consistantly on street tires. But that its capable of much more with drag radials. I've been told that a 385 is a better coice than a 415 because the 415's pistons are short and the extreme angle of the stroke it has to make put more strain on it. I don't know if its true or not.

I just don't want an averge Z anymore. Thats all there is to it. I want to turn mine into something serious. I might be talking to you pete about head work soon. Sure I could probably do it myself but top end porting is where I draw the line for my own self made mods. Pete has far more expertise in this area than I'm willing to mess with.
