Default RE: Engine Build Up

Bad Mirada I chose the single plain because of the traction issues on the street and occasional 1/4 mile pass. Lose a little on the bottom and pick it up on top... where traction isn't the problem. I have a 292 degree cam and 3:91 gears with a 2800 stall converter. The cam should come alive at 3000 to 6500 RPM or at least thats what I'm thinking I will be able to test this theory and if it does not pan out a nice 6-pak will be installed. You are right about the bottom end being a little sluggish. I plan to launch at 2500 and hope I have good enough tires to hook, after that it should be in the power range after every shift. I might even toy with a 125 shot of racers edge
