fred, thanks, that site helps alot! did not know that was there. mike, thanks, i needed that too. cool car, alwaysed loved those olds. so if i read it correctly, i can run f with more weight. i did weigh car couple of years ago, 3185 with 1/4 tank of gas with no spare or jack, without me in the car. if car weighs 3200 i can run it as ihra ff/sa. good heads, short tire with lightweight wheels,electric water pump, and maybe a cam, i can at least run the 16.30 index. mike, our cars are similair as far as weight and motor goes, what have you done to your olds. i don't need every little detail, and i know a higher ratio final drive will make a world of difference, are you at 430 lift? nothing is done to mine as far as performance other than no cat. i still need this to be streetable, still have all power options and air and i still will have all these on car no matter what. ed, turbo car is out of the question. i know a turbo fwd car can run the index, but this is just to tide me over until s10 is finished. i enjoy going to the races and hanging out and helping anybody that needs help, but i want to be "in the beams" so to speak. don't know if i will have everything done to it by reynolds, but i'm going to try. even though new ssssa rule is no protesting, i don't think i can tell jim car is ihra gf/sa, and get away with it. rick.
