8.90 Sniper Ultimate Flathead

At Huddleston Performance we approach 8.90 racing a bit differently than some. We prefer to build you more horsepower, as opposed to just enough to go 8.90. This allows our 8.90 combination to work well for most any racer of any size. Ranging from 420lbs with our standard tune up, to in excess of 450lbs+ with a bit more aggressive tune up, while still using the same Engine.

A typical 8.90 motor runs around 72 MPH. Our 3.100" Bore x 3" Stroke Sniper Jr. typically runs in excess of 74 mph. This change in mph helps in a few different ways:

1. It allows you to run a softer gear ratio which all but eliminates tire spin. The bigger bore gives the motor the horsepower it needs to pull the gearing early in the run.

2. The mph increase allows your driver to be the one chasing when they race another 8.90 car. This lets your driver see the finish line and make the decision better than the driver who has to turn around and find your racer. The increase in mph also helps when racing 7.90 entries, the speed difference at the finish line is not as great which gives your driver the opportunity to make a better decision at the stripe.
