O.K. Ricky is without a doubt a fast, fast guy that has been a best of 1.64 ET's but I've been 1.55's

.
IMO, Ivans problem is that the car is geared too tall so it indeed runs those speeds but he suffers like heck on the ET part where it really counts. The quickest guys in his class run 1.46's to 1.50's on a regular but at 86-88 MPH ranges. They get up on the pipe quick hard and fast.
I will say that "ALL" of the quickest cars either in Pro-Mod, Funny car or Top Fuel run the 14mm Kangaroo engines and it don't matter who has modded it, THEY FLAT OUT RUN. I have a 35plus21 14.5mm cranked engine to try out later BUT this one uses the Kangaroo sleeve instead of the original 9 port sleeve.......it's basically a JP R7 like this.
Keep me posted on your developments.
