Yep...all new valve springs. Based on trying different shift points, it seems to like to be shifted at 5800...any more or less and E.T drops off. Going through the traps in 3rd, at 5500rpms, I can tell the engine is running out of steam.
My 60' sucks...even with slicks so now I'm leaning towards the converter being the culprit. If I can drop my 60' by .2, I will be in the mid 12's.....make sense?
