John, I went to Byron today for the last time this year hoping the cool fall air would produce a 10 sec time slip. The Pinto run 3 11.06`s, no 10`s. I needed a tail wind. O well, we`ll work hard this winter, maybe next year. Greg. Those are pretty phenomenal times for stock unported heads. As Royce mentions, just laying a grinder on top of the heads should be just enough to get that Pinto in the tens.
With the air temperatures finally dropping into the eighties and nineties here in Texas, my roadster with the revamped EMC engine is likewise picking up. Made a series of easy passes at the local track a couple of weeks ago and was rewarded with three 8.85’s in the elimination rounds with plenty left if I can get the car to leave hard. Traction was marginal to say the least.
