Darn it,Gary..You know I hate looking in those books.
Okay ...we're talking identical motors here Cavalier and Cimarron..Same specs .
Chevy, original 120 up to who knows what ...down to 125 ..thanks to you and 1-800-CRY-NHRA.
Caddy..130...up to 140 when we had one .Set the C/FS stick record @14.32, 90,, 8.97 in the eighth in 1992. ....Now down to 130 in '07.

FI system ? Whatever you have it's better than what we had ..if you have anything better than
stock OEM.
There's a nice '87 on C/L .Did you see it?...Little high on the money, but doesn't even need paint...hmmm
