Mike Krehel Administrating Kat Posts: 3047 From: United States Registered: JUL 2000	posted 10-04-2005 10:27 PM The Worlds Fastest Naturally Aspirated Prowler broke it's own record. We ran the 302 (5L) Westech Stroker once again tonight at Great Lakes Dragway. After a little tuning, Jim Daley (WESTECH DRIVER) ran a 12.312. Again, these are real world numbers with no altitude/humidity correction. Conditions at the track were far from ideal (74 degrees with 75% humidity) and we will be shooting for some even lower numbers after a few more tweaks and cooler temperatures. 60' 1.635 sec 330' 4.950 sec 1/8 7.772 sec 1/8 86.95 mph 1000' 10.234 sec 1/4 12.312 sec 1/4 107.56 mph Thanks again to Jim and Norm at Westech Automotive! ------------------ Mike Krehel ProwlerOnline.com
Marty Usher Prowler Junkie Posts: 13833 From: San Antonio, Texas Registered: JUN 2001	posted 10-04-2005 10:31 PM Mike - sounds like Norm is getting better and better with the tuning. That's a great ET and the 60 foot mark is really impressive. When I talked to Jim today on the phone he mentioned they were going to the track but didn't hint they thought they had picked up that much in just a week!

Marty Usher Prowler Junkie Posts: 13833 From: San Antonio, Texas Registered: JUN 2001	posted 10-04-2005 10:46 PM AC - You're gonna need DOT street slicks to hook up on the street. That would be a nice "welcome to the museum" present you could buy for the "302" when it arrives in Houston!
dpena Administrating Kat Posts: 5359 From: San Jose Ca Santa Clara Registered: JUL 2000	posted 10-05-2005 12:07 AM WOW!! Mike!! 12.312 is a very nice run for a naturally aspirated run. Did you take a video footage?? Should make a very nice street car. It will be killer to run against them mustangs and vetts.

Thanks Dan! I'd be anxious know if Norm or Jim had a video camera with them too. I was so excited that I forgot to ask! ------------------ Mike Krehel ProwlerOnline.com

I remember the first time we ran 12's with a naturally aspirated Prowler. OH . . . . WHAT A FEELING! CORVETTES AND PORSCHES BEWARE! We have the traction, torque and horsepower. ------------------

Dean, I hear very good things about your stroker, but I've seen no real track numbers. When I say real, I mean no altitude correction. I'd like to challenge you to a race at Great Lakes Dragway in the next couple of weeks? Your stroker against my Westech stroker, both naturally aspirated... One on one! Call me. Sunday... Sunday... At Great Lakes Dragway! ------------------ Mike Krehel ProwlerOnline.com
Dean Prodromides Prowler Junkie Posts: 56 From: Grand Junction, CO Registered: OCT 2000	posted 10-05-2005 02:01 AM How about Denver's Bandimere Speedway at Thunder Mountain with you driving? at a Corvette Club event - we will teach them a new found respect for our Prowlers!
RPL Prowler Junkie Posts: 3448 From: Rochester Hills, MI Registered: JUL 2000	posted 10-05-2005 11:51 AM I think that it needs to be added that Mike's car is running the stock final drive ratio and "all engine." He isn't using nitrous or any power enhancer plus that's on pump gas. This message has been edited by RPL on 10-05-2005 at 11:52 AM

Dean, I just got off the phone with Bandimere Speedway and it seems that they are closed for the season after this Sunday 9th, so my original offer still stands! Don't sing it, just bring it to Great Lakes Dragway! The Vette and Viper guys in Wisconsin will be just as impressed as the guys in Colorado!. Are you up to the challenge? ------------------ Mike Krehel ProwlerOnline.com

Marty Usher Prowler Junkie Posts: 13833 From: San Antonio, Texas Registered: JUN 2001	posted 10-05-2005 02:40 PM The Vipers in Wiscoisin are slow - at least for the first 1/8 mile Denver, Wisconsin, or wherever - if you guys run and I can get time off - I'm there to see you race!

ed monahan Prowler Junkie Posts: 33595 From: Cincinnati, OH Registered: JUL 2000	posted 10-05-2005 06:47 PM The last time this was bandied about there were others involved and the word "Poser" kept appearing. It would be sweet to see this race occur this time. I would probably try to get there.

MIKE GATLIN Prowler Junkie Posts: 4307 From: Flushing, MI Registered: AUG 2000	posted 10-06-2005 06:44 AM This would be one for the ages! If I knew that there was enough interest, I would be sure to get there with camera in hand.
RPL Prowler Junkie Posts: 3448 From: Rochester Hills, MI Registered: JUL 2000	posted 10-06-2005 08:22 AM How about this....next year we have the event at Louisville. Neutral territory for both Mike and Dean and rather centrally located. Find a convenient track and have one day to sort the cars out and then a best two out of three shoot out the next day. Prowler owners that would like to run their cars could do so between rounds of the shoot out. Any interested parties could run in the shoot out by declaring ahead of time. This would be a straight up run what you brung side by side racing. Winning holds the title until the next side by side event at a mutually agreed upon site and time. No altitude corrections, no weather conditions just head to head racing like the good old days. Gentlemen, are you up to the challenge?

SteelBlue01 Prowler Junkie Posts: 175 From: New Jersey Registered: MAR 2002	posted 10-06-2005 08:50 AM Nice. If it's not too early in the year and we're done I'll work to have the Westech turbo build there for it's debut.
