Mine is gonna be say 90% track with the occasional "cruise" night. Would like to lay some spray to it, but probably not till next year.

A Circle D Specialties 230mm in a 4800-5200 stall range would be hard to beat with that set up IMO.

Currently no power adders. I got a 3800 in the truck now
I get approximately 7.2 mpg. @ 3700 rpms on the highway. LSJM1 what rear gear size. I'm thinking about dropping to a 3.73. The only problem is its a blast to drive. Ive had old school sbc and never had this much fun or power. I could see having one race/street car now. It just seemed like it was either for long while
