No .. I may change to 3.73 but not sure yet. As far as breaking it, who knows! I have only heard of breakage in the MN6 cars, but I don't think wheel hop would care if it was an auto or stick. Hard to rev to 5000 and drop the clutch in an automatic though!

You may have a little more than 350rwhp if you're running 11.80's, that's fast.

Very good numbers 1955BelAir. Must be those heads we were talking about at RevXtreme Dyno day. I see what you are saying now. I know you can feel that enormous horsepower.

Probably next year. But it won't be near as fast as yours. I'm only looking to get around 375hp and I will be happy with that. No internal work.

Next year is less than a month away! Get some LG headers, intake and tune you will be right there.

i was running 91 but yesterday i got stuck somewhere with no fuel and had to put 89 in it it was my fault cause i went for a drive and i did not fuel up before .... i though i had enough

any how the car did not like the 89 at all!!!! so today i went down and bought some 100 leaded the car sure does like that and it smells good
that is what i am going to run from now on

i wish i could get 93 at the pump here but oh well

If you run race gas and don't add timing in the tune you will actually lose hp.
