Re: 16v/8v hybrid motor

[jonas miller <sjmill@erols.com>]

ok my friends drag rabbit was similar
you start with a 13:1 compresion motor, if you shaveteh head a bit and withthe
right ignition  you can go to 14.5:1....
you will not be running on normal gas, race gas only...
NOS can be used, ibelieve he had a 150shot onteh motor...
his times werearound 12.2-12.8 he had traction prob;ems, and such also he kept
breaking axels, every run he woudl either twist one or snap it,
more info if you want it
