Hey all....
Anybody running toploaders? I've been running them for several years with no problems.......BUT, this coming race season(4 weeks for us in the cold northwest) I will be running a 380 inch stroker cleveland(ol' engine was 357) and expect to be churning out several more horsepower, also plan on launching car harder(7800-8200) and shifting at a higher rpm...8400-8600. Old engine ran 7000 launch and shifted at 7400.....
I guess I'm asking if the 'ol toploader is going to handle the added cubic inches and torque?
Old engine combo produced a 11:26 @ 121mph at 6500 corrected air....which figures in the neibor hood of 450 hp......
Is a Jerico in my future( MY much poorer future....)?
