The both of you guys on slicks at the track would be a good match up. And a little 75 shot never hurt anybody

thanks

yea, i think i could of beaten him with slicks, ive got a set of stainless works long tubes in the garage ill be throwing on with a 4" cutout, that should take car of him, ill have to find a set of slicks before then to, i invited him to the track on the 15th but he has to work, so after i run on the 15th the headers and cutout go on, then ill run him at the track.

Ive been thinking about n20, but i want to keep it n/a with this guy, he;s a friend, and i think he would know lol

it would be tough in a 4th gen, you have more mods than me, but you weigh about 300lbs more, run him and find out, no shame in losing, or like these guys are saying, 75shot never hurt anybody

If he put some real heads on there the car would be a completely different beast! Think of it as a LS1 with some 305 TBI heads on it.

haha theyre ok for a budget built bolt on 302, even then a port does wonders

but on a 351 theyre choking it like you wouldnt believe; even a box stock set of afrs or comparable would make it a new car
