Re: Day 2 Drag Racing
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: novadude</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Thanks, guys. While it might run better with more gear, I'm not going to change a thing. It primarily a street car. On a 350 mile roundtrip road trip to Pittsburgh this summer, I was getting a real 19 mpg running 70 mph at 3200 rpm across the hills of Pennsylvania. More gear would definitely hurt gas mileage and make long road trips a bit uncomfortable.
I'm pretty happy with a car that will run 108 in the 1/4 and still manage 19 mpg with no OD. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] The engine is built off of a '69 L65 block. It's a very simple 355 combo using mostly GM parts (062 vortec heads, GMPP low rise EGR dual plane manifold, etc). </div></div> If you're happy with her -- leave her alone! It appears you have a very good combination ... TAZ
