Default Mile High newbie

From Mopar, to FORD, and now a GM Icon! 79 Vette RetroMod diamond in the ruff! Saved from 10 years in the Colorado sun sitting in a driveway! ZZ4 Crate with Holley 650, Sananderson headders, all the Cali emmission stuff ripped out, A/C gone, Clutch fan gone, and contemplating some subframe before adding a Procharger. High altitude issues force non-convential methods of extra performance. Cams can't be large but maybe a timing change cam that inverts firing order of 4 and 7.. Alcohol spray.. lots of neat tricks to be had.
