that is strong for untouched P heads and stock cam. Very nice.
Bet it's a hoot to drive.

Thanks, I have not got on it much due to rain yesterday but today is sunny and on the way to work I nailed it once in second gear and it felt good!

Thanks, I am happy with the numbers. Considering the high humidity yesterday it might have been a little better. I am going to

I def need sticky tires! First gear is now useless and second gear gets squirrely but third and fourth gears pull like a mother!

I like what you're doing man. If you see any kind of sheet metal issues in the passenger side firewall behind strut tower investigate it thoroughly. My Vert pulled hard man. First I noticed the spot welds coming apart in the corner behind the passenger strut tower...then I noticed cracks behind the passenger fender...then in that corner under the cowl....my vert looked like an atlas map w/ 10 point cage and subframe connectors. The only way I might have been able to save it would've been to run support bars from the roll cage through the strut towers and into the frame rail behind the core support....and tied that with my strut tower brace.

The stress was all in the right corner. Mind you, I had a cage and a strut tower brace. Neither helped. Vert problems man.

That car is now crushed [emoji20]

Thanks for the tip, I have done as much as possible without a cage but I may do that also. Sorry yours couldn't be saved.
