Hello everybody. To start off ive got an 89 lx with 94,XXX miles on the body and about 3000 on the rebuilt motor. The motor is a 306 with afr 165 heads, f303 cam, 1.6 RR, keith black pistons. Its got a 650 carb, with an airgap intake. All running through new t5. I would be looking to get around 310 to the wheels, is that possible? Thanks guys. Im curious and want to get it on the dyno.
