Default 2v kill nothing special

Well since i got my car in the fall, i havent really had any chances to run anyone. Got a couple highway runs in with a 2v tonight, and i was supprised how they fall flat on their face. I was going about 70 i guess, and i always let him get the hit (like a big hit), i didnt shift to 3rd which i know of should of, but instead did 4th. He would always pull out a couple of cars, and then i would fly around him like he let off, which i know he didnt. I could have made it alot worse for him if i downshifted, but i didnt think it was really necessary. Anyway thats my story, nothing special. Seemed like a cool guy, gave me the thumbs up. I guess we got probably 3 little runs from 65-70 up to about 115 maybe, i didnt look down to see, but every time i was 7-8 lengths ahead. I wish we could have done some digs, but werent really in a place to make it happen.

2v mods aren't that great, hopefully trickflows new cylinder head they will be selling soon will boost them up to make the 2v motors a little bit of a competitor N/A rather than always having to go F/I for them.
