That is why I have added the 16" BFG's,sway bars frt and rear,cop chuck,
and bilstiens all around. It all helps. : )

 Sounds about right. I just wish my 69 RR had a speedo that read more than
 120.. It took forever to get the needle to get back off the bottom of the
 dash.. about 1/2 mile or so.. just to start moving again.. not just to get
 back to 120MPH.. That was with 3.23's and about 120,000 miles on a 400BB.
