How much power needed to run 8.60 in a 105" nostalgia type Altered?

I heard the same thing Bruce said 426's needed more timing [ more low end power]
And I think teams continued to race Donovans because they bought them 1'st.
I'm not sure when NHRA stopped racing TF at Div races, we quit racing TF when our sponsor got out of it when the oil shotage started in late 73.

That's pretty cool John. I'm so glad you guys are keeping this type of racing alive. Going to Bakersfield is probably my most favorite thing to do. I need to learn the anatomy of a 600 injected alcohol 392. I guess this book is highly recommended on the forums and a good starting place, but it's out of print.
