Here is one of my car from thursday night, can't really hear the idle though. I know it is ugly, speed parts are more important than paint.
This was at GLD which is 150 miles from home.

lead is a much cheaper means of killing deer than is sheet metal, both are equally effective but I really recommend the lead, leaves a lot more for the mod budget.
The converter hits pretty hard best 60ft. of the night was 1.620 weight was easily 4250lbs that night with the extra crap in the car, fuel level, the SS wheels on front are heavy 29lbs without rubber, up around 60lbs with, no risk of a pothole bending them though.

all this talk about a custom ground cam, and then going and changing parts later? why? if your going for a cam only record or something, then fine....but if your going to be changing heads or building a motor later down the road, why not get a cam speced for the exact set up? if i were you, id run an off the shelf cam for now.
I got a custom cam, and I realize that I just could have gotten an off the shelf cam, that was pretty small, and done some minor valve tricks or compression boost and got better results. LT1 cam's usually dyno with in 10rwhp of each other, all things being equal, so I don't get what the big hoo ha is about custom cams. with a custom cam, everything must be perfect, the setup must be flawless, because it usually the setup that yields great results, not necessarily 100% of the cam.
different strokes for different folks

Yes and NO. Take my 847 cam vs. Lloyd Elliots LE3 cam. They will make SIMILAR peak power, but the LE3 cam will make more power throughout the RPM band, which in return makes the car faster. Custom grinds are the way to go, but get it ground once for your set up and save yourself some money.
Thank you.
Not the only Mustang I beat that night just the most entertaining. The staging lane guy was more than happy to entertain my specific request to line up against that car
. 
I figured out who im going with. I emailed one of the guys mentioned and told him what I wanted ( I DD the car, not going for any records) and told him I didnt want to rev over 6200 and he pretty much told me I was wrong I needed to go bigger.
I felt like I was in every other thread in this section, GM847 ***. haha
