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

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Jim,
   
  I have a bunch of ORR video's including the 'on fire'....they're all pretty  boring actually....I have something a little different this time that the Looking Glass Corvette wieners will like.
  Stay tuned!

    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.

Jim

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.   ;-0           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.
