The last time we ran the car at the track was in 1998. We ran a 15.2 qtr mile with: An old 90,000 mile stock 71 340 with headers/edelbrock performer manifold/600 edelbrock performer carb and cooper cobra street tires. This year we plan on running with: Same old 91,000 mile engine (don't drive it much) Headers/edelbrock 750/edelbrock airgap rpm/radial slicks Just guessing what kind of time we should see with these improvements. Also how much would the 750 Edelbrock carb add hp-wise vs. the 600. And what about header wrap? Just don't want to get beaten by a Neon! Ron

Mid 14's. Fastest 300
