Went out to Infineon this weekend for our first points race. Fresh motor (406) with a few changes, new tune, and good weather. Here are the first 2 runs. Not bad for an 84 with a SuperRam! Willie

Thanks guys. All on the motor. Good set of Holley (Brodix) 20 degree heads, good machinist, relatively mild hydraulic cam, 230/240, .6xx lift, extrude honed SR with 36 lb injectors, the right gearing shifting at 6700, a good chassis and good air.
