Just like you said, my car is pretty much bone stock, and it is going to stay that way. Just like playing on the freeway or back roads, but no serious street racing.
Yeah probably 3rd, if you're only running her to 5 grand you're probably leaving 30-40hp on the table. LS1 likes to rev.

With as many miles this car has, I don't the money to drop everything out and replace it, so i don't want to get it too high revved. Now my 68, that's a different story... Think I might create a thread about it racing one of the other 67-72 chevy's we built....
