Fairly consistent and easy to hit the tree in. Looks like D/PS it is although I will need to get just about 100lbs out of the car and speed it up considerably with an 8.50 index. First thing on the slate is a converter. The stock one is TIGHT! Can barely footbrake it to 1500 before it pushes through the brakes. Looking at a Yank 3800-4000 stall. Any pointers? And guys with experience how much did you pick up with a good converter. Most say 1/2 sec should be easy with a good one. Headers and gears next up.
Shoot me a PM and I will give you my opinion
