Right on! I'll tell ya, when I added cams it really helped the top end pull. Still wasn't great (with the crappy PI heads) but it helped a lot from like 4500-6200 rpm, where I would shift. After that I was pulling my buddy in his T/A with a catback and lid

I agree. 4.10 have been the best thing I've done for this car so far.

He pulled you pretty hard. Good deaths.
It was around 20mph. I had the advantage on that one.

Looks great, and your friend's SS looks pretty damn sharp as well. Have you considered a low-profile wing like an '03-'04 Cobra spoiler? Here's my old '01;

Edit: Z28 w/ SS hood and spoiler I guess?

My mistake. 2nd gear was around 30 mph, not 20.

Thanks!

An 03/04 Cobra spoiler is the only other spoiler I'd put on this car.

Good runs!


Gearing advantage was huge to you on the 2nd gear roll.
