Thanks... I just happened to have $$$ at the right time and this car kinda fell in my lap. This 427 SBC engine was orginally not set up for NO2. When we orginally built it, this was a top car in the Ga based class - on motor.... But with 2yrs of no updates, the car has become outdated/surpassed. Compared to what people are running these days, This 427 is very mild... Dart Little M block 4.125 bore X 4 stroke. 11.1 compression, Dart 230 Pro 1's (unported), Mech roller cam 270ish@.050 .670ish lift.... 4150 based QFT Q-Series 950 carb. 603HP on motor + 250 from the plate. I'll be changing from the Dart intake manifold to the Edelbrock Super Victor II which will be worth about 25HP. We just freshened it up last season and he only made 10-15 passes last year.... We have put like 10 more passes on it this winter testing.... This season (2013), I'm gonna change the intake manifold, already have my old NO2 plate kit on it (thinking of buying a new one) and that is it - Going racing in Feb. I have thought about changin the ring package but honestly the pistons just aren't up to a big doses of the spray, so there's really no point. I also thought about some head work but there's no reason to spend $$$ when I need to be saving it for next years assault.... The 2014 plan is a totally new engine.... Something along the line of our 23* X275 engine combinations but with a cam more suited for the single plate NO2 kit that we are required to run in Ultra/Ultimate Street (we run multi stage foggers in X275).... I'm sorry but I can't give out specifics on those engine combinations. I can tell you there is a short deck engine 412 cubic inches with Dart 23* heads and a more powerful 437 cubic inch tall deck engine with All Pro 23* heads... We have also been considering a totally new Normally Aspriated engine combination. We really need to see how competitive the car is this year (and gauge how the class is progressing) before I decide which way to go, as there are different weight requirements for the different engines.

What are the plans for the motor? Just a freshening up?
