It would burn the right rear tire( with the street tires) off though.

Don't knock the 2BBL too much :^) A friend of mine in Las Vegas had a stock '69 Nova with the 250/350 2BBL. That car completely outran my stock '78 Camaro 4BBL Z28! Shocking! Embarrassment city! Those "Jimmy Carter specials" were the biggest overpriced slugs around. The only GM V8 from that era that was worth anything was the L82, and it was overpriced too!

All that changed with TPI, yay!
