Wow Pete that is really awesome! Those are excellent numbers. My "bucket list" Flathead Ford dream is to get as close to 1 hp per cubic inch as I can naturally aspirated on gasoline. Just yesterday I was shopping for a suitable block for the project. I did find a decent 59AB block that I might use, though I'd rather use an 8BA.

On another note are you aware of a Pierce Arrow coupe run at Bonneville some years back? I think it was a true PA chassis with a turbocharged PA V12 powering it.

I remember reading about this is a magazine and if memory serves me correctly I believe AJ Foyt may have driven it.
