2023 NHRA Class Champion! 2.2/287/TBI/Gen 1 Daytona FTW!!

Posted by Steven Seale on Dec 10th 2023

This is Gary Lucier from Kingman, AZ and you performed the head work on our 1984 Dodge Daytona 2.2L/135 CI Single Point TBI (Non-Turbo), 287 head. With just 4 events completed in the 2023 NHRA Season....so far, 3 Div. Events (won our Pacific NHRA Div. EF/S 2023 Class Championship Wally in Event 2, and 1 National Event (our first since Feb. 1997), at Pomona in the Final event of the season, and still short shifting the car at 5,200 Rpm 1-2 shift, and 6,000 Rpm 2-3 shift, and having tested the car outside of competitive sessions briefly and knowing it reliably hits the stock ECM/PM Rev. Limit feature at 7,300 rpm and it is still pulling hard when it does, and still ran a personal best -.789 under index (we expect it can run -1.2xx under at this point at 2,840 lbs), which would have qualified #1 at Pomona in Stk. ELIM., We cannot thank you enough! Our lights so far need just a few thou to the green side work, but the car so far is nearly flawless! Please use the attached pics and our testimony if they can help.
