Best documented speed that I know of so far for an Ilmor/Indy 382 is 98. I think all of them have run at least 93 out of the box, depending on options. Formulas are the Lexus of the go-fast world, not the Vipers...

Yes it is true, it's a friend of mine and I've been in it many times at 100. And of course the motors are not stock... No stagger on a 35 Formula

A friend of mine has a set of Tyler Crocket built whippled motors making 700 a side in a 312 and it runs 101-102. I think it would take allot to get the 353 to those speeds.

I agree with you. This ad is stating almost stock motors.

I would love to see it run...a 353 at a hundred would surprise a bunch of people. My buddy always gets that look at the dock's.
