[DeTomaso] Chassis Dyno Pull on ItBWild (433rwhp & 5600 R's)

 Dawg,
 
 Have you or any other Pantera ORR runner shot an in-car video during a run? 
 It'd be great to put one up on youtube.

  I drove the Pantera to Anaheim this morning to Superior Automotive in Anaheim to 
have them re-check engine timing and jetting after Dick Drenske replaced the 
distributor gear and re-set the timing (thanks Dick)! 
   
  Everything looked good.  I only needed 'one' pull (433rwhp Tq was 411) to 5600 
R's and resisted the urge to do more. I think there is probably another 20-30HP 
if I pull to 6500 R's. HP was still climbing when he backed out of it at 5600 on 
the chassis dyno.  TQ l peaked at 5,000 R's...My attitude is if I have to blow 
the engine lets do it at Silver State next 
  Sunday. ;-]> With taller gears even 5600 is close to 180 Mph in my Pantera.

  This engine is all most a year old now with allot of street miles and was 
built by Russ Fulps in Anaheim. It has a  381ci Cleveland stroker. (bore 4.020 
stroke 3.750) and 302B aluminum heads, 11:1 compression, a Comp Cam hyd roller, 
180 headers, Rosch hi rise, Holly 830. Russ did the last 377ci stroker and HP/TQ 
were close. It was built to make HP to 6500 R's. 
   
  Although one Pantera dropped out of the NORC we're still looking to have 4 
Pantera's for SilverState next week which I am happy with. Jason, Eliot and 
Darryl all have very special Pantera's, all are ORR veterans and all are PCNC 
members. Here's who is running again;
   
  Jason "The Kid"  Eaton - One of the finest detailed Pantera's I have ever 
seen. Bright TPR yellow with too many upgrades to mention here. Came in 1st 
place in his 1st ORR last year!!!
   
  Eliot "Marine" Kushner - Outstanding gunmetal gray GT5. Pretty much a street 
stocker - But many successful ORR's under his belt. 
   
  Darryl "SEAL" Johnson - Beautiful Pantera has many upgrades including a 
Corvette suspension which has been under development for at least 3 
years....says he is now ready to test it.
   
  The only changes we made for ItBWild this 1st ORR of the season is Drenske 
replaced the  worn bronze gear with a Comp Cams recommended steel gear which 
should open some interesting debate on the List.  Rear double adjustable shocks 
were rebuilt to add another 25% dampening/rebound to deal with rolling 
woops-dips (mile 57-62). I got full compression in Sept and cracked the rear 
window (again)! Yea, I had the Pantera realigned last 
  week.;-]> 
   
  Drenske also fabricated up some removable ABS for bottom of the air dam and 
sideskirts to replace the rubber belt I used Sept 06 which should work more 
effectively with less deflection. My new 180 degree headers and IR-EFI system 
never got finished in time...No good excuses as both Mike Trusty and Dick 
Drenske had their end covered. Okay, I'll blame work....Current plan is to pull 
engine in the fall after the next 4 ORR's then add the new EFI and 180 degree 
headers, and change cam, etc to a fresh rebuild.
   
  Bonneville 100 in Wendover is in June www.openroadracing.com in case any of 
you are interested.
   
  Happy Mothers Day
