Just take two bumps and hope the top bulb stays on.....
How I run the N/O/P Aspen 318 Wagon!
It got me to Finals at Sonoma couple years back.

It will take more than 2 bumps to turn the top bulb off John.....be nice if you had a counter ??

Make it a 77. Then you can put a 305/2V in it. Best "bang-for-the-buck" that you're gonna get.

89bird, If you listen to Billy (and you should) you might be interested in Mike Moller's post in the build section on page 4.

I would look at the 400ci combo in 76.......275 hp

Any body ever look into building a 95 Grand Am with the V-6. 201 cubic inches and a pretty good size throttle body, .409 lift cam, fairly good compression, 15.15 index, seems like it wouldn't be too hard to get that thing under the index. Rated at 150 hp and around 2700 pounds.
