I'm putting the 5.7 is a 68 Cuda AH clone. Won't be fast fast cause the first motor won't be 100% SS. Likely short in the cam/rocker area. It goes to the media blaster next week to get touched up where my sweaty body was all over it building it, and then primed. I decided to take the FAST EFI 101 school in Orlando the day before PRI so maybe an old dog won't be soooo lost of the EFI. Also running a stick before I get to old to work on it. SSGT/D. Kevin Helms has been helping/driving the Barnett Performance SSAH stick car and he made it look so easy I decided to join in the 4 speed wars. Maybe some time next year.

Sounds like a cool ride. Good luck.

But the data is out there that, especially with my LT1 combo, all of the horsepower increases (speaking for LT1 only) in the last 4 or 5 years, are from a Cavalier or Cobalt!! So how is it fair, with the "platform" rule in the AHFS, that it is not enforced the way it is written? That is my ONLY issue with any of this crap!

If I had the funds, I would have one of these cars!!!
