Got a question that has more to do with your car than the kill (excellent kill btw :) ) I noticed that you have the AFR190 heads on your car. I have been researching heads for my L98 and the AFR's are at the top. How do you like those heads, and if you had to buy another set would you select the AFR's again or would you go with something different. :cheers:

Good job. Wait'll you put something other than those 2.73s to take advantage of your torque curve! :D
Hows that tach? ;)

The tach works good, I just need to remember to use it! I went without a functional tach for so long I got used to not having one! :cheers:

Good job :cheers: The 2.73 may have helped him at those speeds. I have run 2 Testarossas or 512 TRs and one 512 bbi. I pulled both below 120-130 mph. One let out as we ran out of road and the other started to pull me. The 512 bbi we ran up to a little over 100 mph. I pulled him about a door when ran out of road. I love putting those prancing stallions in there place :cool:
