[Larry E.]

Happy Holidays to All; thought I would put a little quiz on this day. Picture below are three guys
that are true Chevy Performance Giants in the industry. Here is the quiz>

1) Name the three guys in the picture

2) The center guy is holding a most prestigious award given out to Chevrolet Performance People.
Name the award in his hands. (Award was also given to the guy on the right but is not shown)

3) What the name of the engine the center guys uses in his sport. Engine is N/A and makes 3
horse per Cubic Inch and arguably the most engineered N/A engine ever making 1500 HP and Red
lined at a amazing 10500 RPM.

OK>I think you guys solved my X-Mass Quiz. I little more on the engine>

Tracing its roots to the Chevy Mark IV Rat Motor, the Chevrolet Performance Drag Racing Competition Engine (DRCE) delivers more than 1,400 electronically fuel-injected horsepower to a pair of Goodyears for a 6-second ride down the quarter-mile in an excess of 200 mph. Today, the engine can be found in Chevy, Dodge, Ford, and Pontiac Pro Stock cars and may be the most refined engine to ever grace a National Hot Rod Association dragstrip. Some Specs. on this monster>

Intake Valve>2.6 Inches!
Cam Lift>Over 1" lift>Amazing
NHRA as with NASCAR mandates that the Block/Heads are made by the manufacturer; no aftermarket allowed.
Merry Christmas>Larry

FWIW, Greg Anderson is a great guy. I had the pleasure of meeting him personally and had the honor of supplying Greg, Jason Line and the Summit Racing Team with their valve springs for many years. I’ve now “graduated” from working and miss this fun part of the job.

Don>Thanks for the nice info. Something tells me those Valve Springs where very expensive and they used a ton of
them. I would think their lifespan was equivalent to that of a "Mayfly". One could only imagine the pressure of what those
things had at the engine RPM that was attained. Larry
