Engine is a 291 with an old set of 13 degree heads. I have owned the car eight years. We raced here in Bethany lbs/cid no break out, but track isn't open this year.
I have also ran some IHRA in SSPF1. We would go out to try an set the record, I'm just not much on bracket racing.
SM is not really the place for an non aero car, but it's the only class I can run with no break out.
We have an old car and out dated induction, but we'll run as fast as we can every pass down the track. If we get it right she should run 1 or 2 under.
At least I don't have to worry about a CIC.
Thanks for the interest.
Monte

Trans is a G Force G5R, just pulled the sinter iron 11" Ram and put a 8" Billet Hays in. We'll test at Eddyville this Sat, if it doesn't rain.
