Thanks for the replies.The traction thing I knew, but its the top end that seems a bit weak.already have progressive linkage and the carbs are tuned about right...timings around 15 ini and 39 total.think a single four be better?if so, which manifold would you guys recomend. can we expect to see you again this year,tom? if so...your car too?(like to check it out!) thanx IP: Logged

There's also .3 to pick up swapping the C6 for a C4. ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 M code 351C 4V/FMX/3.25 open '72 Mustang Sprint Coupe 351C 4V/FMX/4.30 Trac Lok '94 F-150 XL 5.8L/E4OD/3.55 Limited Slip MCA Member # 47773 *The secret of success is sincerity.
