Hitting on all eight cylinders Group: Forum Members Last Active: 14 Years Ago Posts: 10, Visits: 87	My name is Keith Cornell,I currently making my 32 3 window coupe SCTA legal,so I can run Bonneville this summer.I have run the Maxton Mile with best speed of 137,(with a 135 speed limit) due to lack of saftey equipment.The motor is a 321 stroker from John Mummert,along with G heads ported by John. Ted is building me a 500HP+ monster as I write this,which will be topped off with Mummert ported aluminum heads. So if any one out there makes it to the salt this august,look me up.
