Hello from Finland
« on: March 27, 2015, 02:26:08 AM »
Here is what I do here in Finland / Europe. This is T-23 125" Altered with Ford 292 cid Y-block engine. Two turbos and home made Megasquirt 8-point Efi feeding E85 fuel. Best ET so far is 8.644 / 245 km/h. Best 60 ft is 1.217. This is currently third fastest Y-block world wide. Best time driven with Y-block is 7.966. (Bob Lindsay / Oregon FED with blown alky burning Y-block). Our car is driven by Jyrki Peltonen. I'm just crew chief and mechanic... And builder of that mild steel chassis.
Our website is www.hollowheads.net and they open with click to hole in skulls forehead...

Welcome!

My first vehicle was a 1957 Ford Ranch wagon with the 312 interceptor in it. Wish I still had that car.
