Re: My First Post (T-Top Tom 1)
I chose the Comp Cams-240H. Fairly mild and didn't require any other valve train modifications.I'm planning on doing an engine swap as soon as I can, so I didn't want to get too far into it. :smash:

Get out now needforspeed2. :) This forum becomes very very addictive. You will start missing us anytime you can not get your hands on a computer. When you could be sitting watching TV you will get up for no good reason and head to this forum.
You will also become very dissatified. You will read about all the neat things you can do to your car and crave more and more.
Get out now, never look at Corvette forum again.
Take me for example. I am off today and what am I doing with my time.

Welcome, m'friend. The knowledge and experience available on this forum is incredible. You'll find owning and maintaining a C3 far more enjoyable by sharing in this resource.
By the way, I agree with bgrice's comment about enjoying the Corvette-friendly wide-open space of Texas. I bought mine in Dallas back in '72, and my first look at an indicated 155mph happened somewhere between Dallas and Houston. My first attempt at powering out of a turn also occurred in Texas where the only result was an embarrassing cloud of dust as I spun out of control across the prairie. Did end up perilously close to a barbed wire fence, but no damage done.
Y'all drive careful now. :seeya
