GM stock 3.42 with a hardened output shaft and a DTE brace...
I should've aired down the tires some more in efforts to short the car better, but it was so humid and the dew point had been passed causing moisture buildup all over the cars/track...
Hence the +2000 DA!

It all about power under the curve. Peak power is great but doesn't alwys win races. I race tons of car with more "peak" power. Nine times out of ten, they are all playing catch up.

You are correct, that's why more cubic inches seems to be the route to go these days, more power down low where you need it most. There is no replacement for displacement.
