Thanks Ron, it definitely makes it interesting for me to compete with such old technology. I have to be honest, everybody has underdogged me for so long for running a big block chevy. In many ways, I really think it's an advantage in these multi events. The extra nose weight over the aluminum block LSX stuff in autocross is really the only negative I see(75-100lbs). The amount of torque and engine braking cancels that out in IMO. My engine make a lot of average power. I'm making 604 ftlbs at only 3700 rpm. I'm still making 631 hp at 6800 rpm(Redline) and over 500 ftlbs at 6700 rpm.
So, my average power from 3500-6800 is:
581.1 hp 598.13 TQ
Peak:
666.7 HP/6200 RPM 641.1 TQ/4700
Jason Pettis built me one hell of an all around engine that is very streetable. We discussed in great detail what I intended to do with the car and he nailed it. End of story.
