My 73 finally runs like a vette should
 

Haven't posted in a couple of months. Been busy putting my RPM Heads and RPM Air Gap on. What a difference. I took it out for the shake down cruise on Saturday. I shifted to second at about 4800 (taking it easy the first time out). Anyway, she didn't just "chirp" second like she used to. She smoked the tires to the point she started coming around. I had to let off the throttle for a split second to straighten her up. Needless to say, I was smiling ear to ear.

I hate you! Just kidding. ;) What rear gears are you running? Man, that sounds pretty cool. Way to go!

That sounds like fun. I wish that I could drive my car today. It is 60 degrees outside but the car is in the garage sideways.

Thanks for the kind words.

I do have to admit that the tires are a little old and probably hardened up a bit she still scoots pretty good.

I really wanted to go with the AFR heads but I couldn't justify the extra $ especially since I had a 10% coupon at Summit thanks to jsweet and I don't plan on racing he car.
