<VV> sounds like alot of BS????

Terry,
    It must have taken a LOT more than the 225 HP  mentioned to run this EM 
at 165 mph on the salt flats.  Car Life magazine  estimated it took well OVER 
300 HP for Tom K. to run his LM at 157 mph at  Bonneville.
    Also, how in blazes did this car control engine  temp at 165 mph??  Tom 
K. used LOTS of H2O injection to do it.

At first  glance it might seem BS, but there is a lot of work done on the 
car, note the  O2 sensor on the exhaust, the front brace (not sure what it is 
bracing?) the  five lug conversion all around.  A larger non-stock carb would 
bring the  180 to life.  Anyone remember this car from NECC events,  maybe your  
buddy Tom K. would remember it from Bonniville.  There were several  people 
racing Corvairs on the salt, some faster than Tom K. in the early  years.  There 
was an article in one of the 80's Communiques on all the  Corvairs racing at 
Wendover.
