Unfortunatley, I never have ran any of my cars at the track. I want to, but finding the time is hard to do.

The old 64 1/2 with the 289 (Diane), before the Head Job, would beat most 96-98 4.6's by a car length. She has given a few 5.0's surprised also.

After I melted a few Valves, and had to rebuild the top half, she has waken up much more. Lets see, I ported, polished, shaved, CC'd the heads, put larger valves in. And put on a set of 1.7:1 rockers. Now she cant keep traction at all. Punch it in First gear at just about any speed and she does the ONE WHEEL WONDER SPIN. I wanna upgrade to a Locker unit, with something other than the 3:1 ring and pinion. I also plan on converting her over to a T-5 5spd.

Anyway, to answer your question about how she runs. She's dogged a LT-1 before, and my friends swear she'll keep up with our 99+ 4.6's.
