The cams and header have killed the car down low to the point that you can (probably) walk to the 60' clock faster than this car gets there. Fresh from the salvage yard the car would go 2.13 sixties and it now consistently does the same in about 2.30!!!
The car is easy to stage and get a light with, it's incredibly consistent and it runs real good MPHs so it's making power but I've got to figure out something if I'm going to take this thing to Columbus in a couple of weeks! It has the best final drive in it that can be had in a 4T40E transaxle (3.91) so I'm going to be researching torque converters this week.
Your second round win was the highlight of the weekend!
