You are going with a bigger cam, and bigger heads then myself. If my motor can perform just as well, the proof is in the pudding in regards to my small cylinder heads.
Tell ya what, you're in Toronto, right?

Find a track 1/2 way, I'll meet you there.

Might not be until next year, but that would be nice. I would have to find a trailer first. You would kill me in regards to e.t. Hard to beat a auto with a stall when your driving a manual car. I guess thats the only advantage of an auto.

TRAILER? I'm driving it there.....auto wasn't my choice. Came that way. Not the worst thing, as traffic is a bitch around here.

Like I said beating an auto with a stall is very hard with a stick car. Actually not even a fair race. But what is a fair race is whomever has the highest MPH on the big end.

What do you think your car will trap with this 427? Curious.
