8.50 na will need more than a 1441.... 1397's normally go 9.20 to 8.90. There is only about 10 to 25 hp difference in a 144, depending on alot of varibles. It will take more power and lighter chassis to go .4 to .5 faster at that weight. he not 100lbs... A 1507 in a good chassis with good rider is 8.50 doable with good tune and race fuel.
I'm in louisisana
Knecum will be receiving a call,with a bunch of questions .
My stock busa ran a best 8.99 149 -- I think 140/60' , stock
Clutch, yosh cams ,and degree
9.0's all day ,., so I was thinking a1441 might just do it
I suppose it would matter on whether or not he is in Florida or Colorado also.
