It ran like 4.4s in the 1.8th and didn't look like it required any work on it at all. In the morning when people were warming cars up his was sitting there idling while he was standing there drinking coffee. Last edited by Bad340fish; 02/03/20 08:15 AM.

He's piloted that thing since the G3 first came out and he does pretty well in it.

Sure is hard to argue the numbers when you start looking new vs old school. Plus tuning with a laptop sure is a lot easer. Last edited by hemi_doug; 02/02/20 07:00 PM. 71 440-6 4spd & 69 Hemi 4spd

They are the new owners of Indy Cylinder head and the cars are painting similarly and most say Caged Insanity on them. IIRC the thing run low 8's here in Vegas and is not anything fancy "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"
