There was some decent money on the line for ProStreet this weekend and Frank flew Sonny in to tune every last bit out of his package. It is a very impressive piece to say the least, but thinking there is a bunch left is a bit optomistic. Unfortunately he was asleep on the tree and went out that round to a slower car..

We've got the P/S record at 6.251 right now. With the weight, and engine rules you're not going to see much quicker than low 20's in a Mountain Motor car any time soon. BUT... There is a Ness car being built right now for PSCA that is going to be light that has the first 892" that Sonny built. Based on the numbers, if Don can get the car the right weight it will be able to run low 6.0's if not quicker...

I hear ya, they did pick up almost a tenth from qualifying, which is a bunch in anybody's world, and are still working the bugs out on the car. The 6.38 pass was at 2800' dens altitude with about 91.3 ADR. If they can find a half a tenth in tuning and run that thing at a sea level track it'll probably find it's way into the twenties. I'm just jealous cause we need 800hp of nitrous to run in the fifties..

With door cars going that fast why even have a nitrous car. The Nitrous guys are still behind. Hmmm I wonder if Sonny is going to try to run nitrous on that hemi combo and shoot for 3000 hp. That would be another mild stone

The combunstion chamber in the SEMI-Hemi isn't really good for Nitrous too much quench area, and can cause detonation problems. The other problem is for the Big Nitrous engines is that the engine is heavy. He's working on a wedge head right now with the 5.30" Bore center that should be a pretty good deal on Nitrous.
3 Tenths is about what you'll get going to a Nitrous engine from a killer P/S engine. We can run mid 20's with a P/S engine, and we can do mid 90's with the Nitrous stuff. Both legal, so light weight you're looking at high 80's on a Nitrous car, and high teens for a P/S in killer air. Now go to the big engine, which knowing where the power curve is on it we should be OK
