MOTD (Meme of the Day)

gotcha.
don't discount leaded fuel and higher compression also though. thats a pretty major game changer.

But I agree with your overall premise. My sbf is 47X at the back tires. And its the funniest thing it will flat walk off from a couple of 600hp cars that havent seen the dyno...its nothing special...but so many folks over state numbers or dont fully appreciate what those numbers really were

Regarding the Boss 9 ...all I can say is today with the same weight and a perfect shift pattern you need around 500 hp to hit what the stocks cars did the 1.4 in according to all the magazines and tests of day.

No doubt...leaded fuel definitely made difference, as did octane rating. Can account for that with hard parts and/or dyno corrections though.

And I’ll absolutely give you the performance engines being underrated. Initially I thought you were making fun of the innernet because everyone has a Boss S/CJ sitting behind the shed or in their vehicle...they just happen to have D3 heads.

Having had a 460 with 429 DOOER heads I would say they are only good for spec class truck pulling or a correct restoration. Lazy runners make for funky A/F ratio, bad squish zone for detonation among other things like being able to buy new as cast heads for the same money(post purchase plus decent refurb). For reference it was in a pulling truck build o_O

Watching "Dateline NBC" a few nights ago about Shannon Crawley murdering Denita Smith over a love triangle with Jermeir Stroud.
Stroud and Crawley lived in Greensboro, Smith lived in Durham.
Crawley was covicted in 2010 of the murder of Smith. Apparently, she drove from Greenboro to Durham, killed Smith and drove back to greensboro and went work at her job as a 911 operator.
I heard the lead detective they had everything but a murder weapon ..... I instantly said out loud "she added another one to the pile in Jordan lake"!
