better than my junkyard longblock with a cam swap. lol. But my endlinks don't meet the rules so i'm out and no one wants to see a race like that anyways unless every person i raced blew off their tires, it would be pointless.

I vote 3.50 gear. Larry now over at AMS ran a 3.89 with 28's under 140 mph... Maybe he'll chime in tomorrow... I think give yourself some room in case you want to jet up a bit. I thinking you need to think about going 142-145mph and do some calcs. Good luck I hope to spectate at the race. fisty still have your car... holla atcha boy.

3.73's put me at 146 mph at about 6800 on 28's in my SS. 3.55's would be my choice on a 26.
