Hey guys, once again I am sorry for causing this mess.
Mr. Spool has not made any claims to what his car runs. He has a NT car that runs in a different world than most of us.
Mr. Spool, I apologize for dragging you into this.
It was not my intent to step on anyone's toes or claim that anyone is faster than anyone else on this board.
I was merely SPECULATING..
I didn't claim that Mr. Spool ran 7's, or that he has a 109 block or even steel heads!
When someone said he possibly had an 8 Second car, I speculated 'or faster' with a 'cool' and an 'UNSURE' emoji.
Think about this for a moment.
If you were able to bring TTypeWhite's 9.2 second driven car with AC back into the Mustang vs. Grand National Showdown at Raceway Park in the very early 1990's, he would send EVERY car home with their tails between their legs! (Stormin' Norman's nitrous convertible was the King at that time running high to mid 10's) Most spectators and racers would think that some kind of black magic was used to achieve this.
Fast forward 30 years and think about this:
Could someone build a 7 second Turbo Buick 109 block car with no other rules applied?
Perhaps utilizing block fill? Special machining, maybe adding cross bolt billet mains?
Any crank, rods, pistons, cams, heads available?
Feather weight, sparse interior, sparse engine bay, lightened frame.
Suspension, Instant Center and weight geometry purposefully built.
Any tire/rear diff/trans combination.
Any combination of Power Adders. (Twin Turbos, Nitrous, Blower, alternative fuels?)
Limited Engine cooling required. (Maybe it could run the full 1/4 mile and be able to idle back to the trailer.)
Could it be built?
Again, I was speculating and not trying to hurt anyone's feelings!
God Bless you all and have a Happy Healthy New Year!!!
ENJOY!!!
