Originally built to blast around the tight two lane roads here around rural West Virginia... Got away with it for years, with several close calls. There was a particular VERY twisty 25 mile stretch with very few - legal - passing zones that got timed regularly late on Sunday nights when there was no traffic! MAJOR fun, but this kind of stuff is a time bomb waiting to go off, so off came the road race suspension and gears, and in went the drag stuff and 4.33's....
Recently (summer 07), I installed a new 306 with twisted wedge heads and ran the times above using a 200hp nitrous plate. Still shifting at 6800 rpm. The email link above gives the wrong address. My email is... burchracing at gmail dot com Good Luck! |
