Hi Doc,
P.J's .61 Nobler is well documented and he has made it work exceedingly well according to reports.
3 Consecutive Nats Wins and 3 - 2nd spot finishes - Well those who decide to attend the 2011 US Nats in classic can see for yourself. I'm putting the finishing touches on my Classic model as we speak, with Old faithful up the front.
Its a stalker .61 Longstroke Lite - But ive run Several versions and setup properly they all give similar performance.
Originally I ran the standard 4-2-4 Normal edition, which is mild, then I Went to the 4-2-4 LT EX which has a little more power, I used that for 2 years, then decided I wanted to attempt to fly it in regular contests so I upgraded it to my normal Comp motor which was a LT Ex Longstroke .61. - and decresed my line length 1 ft to give me more positive performance. Still did execptionally well.
Honestly I got part of the idea from Shows like overhauln and the like where they take classic cars with modern day power house engines inside..
Bill.. its not really that bad.....
a 1960 Falcon had a V8 164 HP ( 122 KW )
The Original Nobler had a Veco .29
I put a Stalker .61 - so thats 2.1x More Power...
A 1960 Falcon with 343 HP ( 256 kw ) - Would still be ALOT of fun tho granted.. but a 3000 HP Nitro funny car engine..
Thats..25 times more power.. So A Nobler with a 75 CC engine! Now even Id be the first to say -
no thanks..
