One of our forum members (hope he doesn't mind) Tom Covington who won this past week drag racing at Richmond Dragway taken from their forum posted at
Street Strip Winner was Tom Covington, in his unusual STUDEBAKER! Low 13's, and it idles smooth like a stock cam! Not bad at all, considering he was even reported to be leaving in SECOND GEAR!

Yes, I do know Ted. Great guy and friend. We have communicated and shared a lot on these engines. He is into the factory stock muscle car racing now mostly. The world is small and getting smaller.

I have been doing "Boosting Work" for 34 years.
The "Boosting Community" is pretty small and the players all seem to know each other through either professional (work) contacts or through racing efforts.
I have been at a few of the Stock muscle car races held each year at Stanton, Michigan and put on by Dan Jensen. Ted attends most years.

ps They are showing a nice studebaker program on the speed channel

My new Stude engine is installed and running fine. Made it to the 4th round of eliminations in Mod ET. yesterday and took home some 3rd round win $$$. Best time was 13.503 @ 100. 78. New motor is all NA, no boost. Heads have a nice three angle valve job and the new bench was used to port them and flow the results. Was averaging around 165 cfm calculated readings on the head ports based on Bruces plates. Factory dual plane and iron exhaust manifolds need some flow work.
