Never spun it much past 6K, it was a solid lifter Corvette engine combo, but we had to use stock valve spring specs. Nothing like we use today.

Hmm, more to think about then. I guess the next train of thought would be the more engine hp the less hp loss. I know my 64 Savoy with a 440 never had any different ET on or off, (small crank pully and big pully on the alt). As far as consistency, I ran 7.59 with a 1 or 2 all day, alt on, just a bracket car.
By the way, loved Jr Stockers back then.
