]]> Comment on Hawkins Dragster returns to the track! by admin http://www.hawkinsspeedshop.com/blog/hawkins-dragster-returns-to-the-track/#comment-24 admin Thu, 02 Jun 2011 18:11:52 +0000 http://www.hawkinsspeedshop.com/blog/?p=13#comment-24 After a very wet April in Indiana the Hawkins Speed Shop Crew finally got to take the dragster out for some well needed testing. Fitting the new powerplant in the car required some minor changes for some of the old components as well as some new additions. Our new motor package utilizes a Dart SHP block bored and stroked to make a 427 cubic inch small block chevy with 23 degree Dart Pro 1 heads, hydraulic roller camshaft from Crane, Eagle crank and rods connected to Mahle pistons, and a complete Milodon oil system. To top all of this off is a w200 Whipple supercharger making 12lbs. of boost at the moment. Fuel is supplied by a Magnafuel fuel pump and regulator combo feeding a Holley Ultra Dominator. One thing for sure is the new powerplant looks good and sounds sweet! With only about ten total runs the car has run very consistent passes ranging from 5.03 to 4.97 in the 1/8 mile with speeds ranging from 135 to 137mph. With some more tuning and testing the car wil continue to improve. Look for the Hawkins Speed Shop race team this summer at Muncie, Edgewater, and Tri-State Dragways and stop in and say hi.
