Curious if you tried 28 or 30 tall slicks. If so any gains or loss in Et?
I'm tempted on buying shorter to try.

I don't know why there aren't more 289/225 HP combos out there! 207 (de)factored HP?

* Nice to see this thread again!

I was looking at a '62 Impala wagon 327 300hp 4 spd. How fun would it be banging gears in a 60 year old chevy wagon!!!! They came with a 380hp 409 as well but I don't remember seeing it in the class guide.

Cool car but it stopped being a "Dime Rocket" when it started being a collectable.
