It was Scott Clarks that had a F3R on it making a little over 2300 on alcohol. The shortblock was not touched, the heads were actually ported and then the motor was sold to wolfe.
As far as 1/4 times, 40 mph is not uncommon out of a setup like this. You do the math.

That is retarded that they are running deep into the 6's on drag radials. I remember a few years back when M/T came out with the ET street radial and I bought a set, threw on my T/A, ran 10.17@133mph and alot of people were impressed that I ran those times on a radial. NBow if you can't run at least mid 7's on them you might as well stay home. I love the way Wolfes car goes down the track so smoothe.

Hans Feustal re-did that whole motor....its a 532. Wolfe even went back through the heads.

So a 4.44 sounds like to me would be a 6.6 in the 1/4. What's next? 5's on a DR? Based on that.
If I do the math: Car Weighs 3250 and puts out 2300HP that equates to 6.3 ET with a 208MPH trap speed.

5's would need at least 190mph at the 1/8 with a door car, that might be more than the tire has to give but I would not bet against it! Crazy what can be done on that tire for sure.....

Was there the whole race Thursday thru Sunday morning Wolfe was like a Bracket car saw it go 4.49 then 4.48 next pass He would pickup aleast a hundreth every pass. He was a show to watch. Just realize 32 car field Wolfe on the top with high 4.40's and the bump spot was 4.76 lots of side by side races.
