Sounds like the truck is running pretty well, it's great to see FE power tearing up the track.

Jay’s old Victor did  not make it on this engine, I have that one in mind for another project, if I ever get to it… this engine does have a Victor Intake on it though, that needs more massaging in my opinion. I think the old pickup might pickup a little more yet once I get a few things straightened out and freshen the engine. Felt good to be back in the seat for sure.

Don't you also need a chute when you hit the 9's?
I can only imagine running a Thunderbolt and seeing a truck creeping on you at the finish line...lol  Seems trucks are pretty popular these days. I can never understand how they get them to hook, being so light in the tail. And every truck that I've had seemed to get pretty loose when getting around 100mph. I assumed from air getting under them.
Either way, pretty darn impressive.

i think they recommend a chute at 125 mph,but they are mandatory at 150,chutes look cool,i would put one on it especially if your going to go even faster in the future,love your combo man! since i only live a couple hours away from Blair,i hope to get him to work on one of my fe engines in the near future.

Got to the track finally since spring… haven’t touched the truck from last year except for new valve springs. A guy I know made a little video of the truck and put it on Utube/Facebook link:

New personal best and the wheelies are back, unfortunately the PB can with the not so great 60 ft time so there’s still a little more in it. Fun night at the track with my brother.

Whoa, what’s up with that car coming toward you in the shut down area !
I would be chewing someone’s butt for that.

Believe it or not, that’s the way it works at that track. Everyone has to turn around at the end and head back towards oncoming racers.

Sorry, would never run there if that is the case. What about the head-on if someone lost their brakes yikes!
