Quote: No problem, I'll start a new thread so we can all carry on. I drove the Valiant on a 10 mile jaunt down the freeway and back, it'll be easy to get into trouble in this thing. Hitting the onramp and going through the gears is an A-ticket ride for sure and with the 2.94 rear gear and gobs of power it just pulls forever when you get on it. Coming back I hit some slow moving traffic and it was 92 degrees out so overheating was on my mind for a while but it never got over 205 and cooled right down to 180 after we got moving again.
Yeah it goes pretty good for having those econo gears out back doesn't it? Just wait until you swap in the 3.91 and the Passon box.
You should try a ThermoQuad on that engine. The Holley is only a 650 and it is giving up about 20 hp on the top end. If you were able to get a TQ carb dialed in on that combo it would make more power and still have good street manners. It would also be killer funny at the track when guys look under the hood and see a TQ.
