Thanks, Sky. I ran a few 110's last year, and to be honest, I wasn't happy with how my combo was performing. I had a GT-40 intake, Steeda # 19 cam, 65mm TB and 9.2:1 compression. The car would really lose power as soon as it saw 5000. It was really that bad. I figured that the 115 LSA of the cam, coupled with a 65mm TB and GT-40 were choking the car up top. So...I swapped in a 75mm Accufab TB, TF Track Heat intake, Anderson N-41 cam and had the heads milled to yield 10:1 compression.

Now, it's a whole new car. It pulls like crazy up top and still has plenty of low-end from the stroker. I was shifting the car at 6000 on the stock tach - so there is probably a little more in it. And, I'd like to get my AutoLogic chip re-burned and go 115 mph N/A for next year. All in all, I'm happy how it's turned out.
