Good stuff on Jon Kaase's website, but I couldn't find info on the current build of a 400...
The legend of the Cleveland lives on!!!

a family made the finals with a 400 last year...guy's wife and kids- ie minors- were tuning etc....and it wasn't the best parameters for a 400 rule wise.

google for jegs engine masters comp...you can review all of the past comps.

Yeah John kasse could probably make a 2.9v-6 oput of a ranger win that EMC, its going a very good competition. And yes i'd be more worried about the other 400s in the comp.

I'm glad they ran a C and not a Weezer....there was a 351W (Performance Unlimited) in the comp but it didn't make the numbers that the CHI headed 351C made. I found that interesting from the stand point that so many guys post on other forums how much better it is to build a 351W and how much better the new Weezer heads are over the old C. I guess this helps put things into perspective. No matter how good the new wedge heads are, the canted valve C head is extremely hard to beat.

While I don't see anything wrong with the 351W, it still doesn't have the legendary status of the 351C...

I hear stories all the time about folks who had a 351C, and it killed everything out there... Ya just don't hear that about the W, ya know???

Same thing with the 429, and 428... But I will always love my Clevelands!

kaase made a big jump in points from qualifying to finals...i was really pulling for him. I now understand the advantage of running last...he may have left a little on the the table tune-wise. If he new how close it was going to be he might have been more aggressive. But second is great! Bet that motor would look good in my truck...wonder what he going to do with that one? hmmmm....

It shows all those "boat anchor naysayers" that it doesn't matter what your deck height is, 400 inches is a winning combination, whether its in a DD or built for high HP.
