Just thought I'd share with you my plans for my 77top 4spd, right now its got a 3.55 rear end and I'm gonna put a 4.11 ring and pinion in her, also I'm getting some RHS aluminum heads (ordered) and this cam(ordered) http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku along with a performer eps intake(ordered) and topped off with my shiny new Road Demon 725cfm(got it). She ought really pull like hell then. Eventually I plan on getting a muncie to replace my T-10, maybe next year.

Hey man, my girlfriend is from Louisville KY, and she and I make it into town a few times a year. I should pop by next time I'm there and see what all you got going on. Maybe meet for a beer.

Those 4.11s with the Super T10 will be a fun combo (I run the same thing). I hope you don't have any 200 mile highway trips planned anytime soon. Seems like a nice combination you have there

no 200 mile trips for me, ive got side pipes and some sweet thunder 2.5in inserts, anything over and hour gets annoying and too even though im young my hearing is a little messed up, maybe because I drove around for three weeks with open pipes, who knows, in any event all this stuff should be done by the 20th of December, I kinda want to get everything installed early on my christmas break so I have a chance to break everything in. In any event thanks for reading.

That cam is going to need quite a bit of compression to work properly. How much does your engine have?
