Default Blowfish in Hot Rod Magazine

If you haven't seen the article on Troy Trepanier's landspeed Cuda in the latest issue of Hot Rod, you need to check it out. It's a great read.

Have been waiting with much anticipation an article and some more pics on this car. There is no reason a racecar should ever be this nice. Then to take the car to Bonneville and perform better than anyone there expected is just incredible. The crew at Rad Rides just keeps turning out the gems. I will be buying the build book mentioned in the article.

I read it last night. I have seen the build up pictures before and it is one amazing piece of "working" art now that it is finished. I of course love small displacement motors so it holds a special place in my heart.


I have a hard time believing the claim of making 1000HP on 20 psi. Unless it's running methanol & 12.0:1 compression.
