Hi Jack I saw you mentioned your cam specs somewhere.... What kind of times are you running and would you mind posting your build details?

or PM me if you don't want things to turn into a poop storm.

Just curious

I would like to weigh that--I'd be at least a tenth faster. My junk is 3750 and has a glass hood on it. Of course 210lbs of it is me.

Definitely one of your more intelligent posts! That is three in a row. Keep the dragncar cape off and continue with the normal posts as if you were on PZ.

I could really care for any of your long winded meaningless post or the content of them. I'm sure i'm not the only one that feels that way. They just get in the way of actually TRYING TO LEARN SOMETHING on here.

A few years back a member named deputydog had a nice 67 Tempest with a .040 over 455 with 350 cfm High Ports, unported Victor, 1050 Dominator and 13 to 1 CR. He said it had a 262/272 @ .050, .660 lift 112 LSA solid roller. Weighed 3850 lbs and had 4.10 gear and a 4200 Coan converter. Was running 30x9 Hoosier radial slicks and his best time was 10.08. Shifted at 6800 in 1st and 7000 after that. This is info I got off of his posts. That car was very impressive.
