I agree, it's a bit pricey but your right, I don't want to have to fuss with
it. The plan is to freshen up the motor also with new heads and cam so
everything will be a good match. That's been one of the problems I've had with
the car all the while. I think I just have a bad combination of Cam, Intake,
Carb and Heads. For the amount of money into that motor, the car should be at
least a full second faster in the 1/4 and have far better 60' times. Best 60'
was 2.8 but ran through the traps at 12.9 @ 108 just as I was hitting 4th. I
think the cam is a little too tall and the carb/intake combo sucks. It really
lags out of the hole but seriously wakes up after I get the rpms back up and
hit second. It just doesn't take that initial launch well.
