Winter mods and a spring challenge

[exgmguy]

thanks for the replies.

I guess if I look at the cost of headers and an H-pipe, (400.00) If I got 10 hp at the wheels I would be happy with that. The C&L piece is only 220.00 or so, and I could sell my meter to offset the cost.

Lidio of Alternative has built some damn fast Stangs and says a 65 mm throttle body is all I need for any 302.

I have also heard the same stuff about the rubber insulation material. I am not too worried about the noise or heat. I don't drive the car daily anymore anyway, and I already have a cage, racing seats, and no rear seats. I guess it's the price to pay.

I think an 11.3 with a 1.7x 60 ft. should be good for a 10.90 or so with a 1.5 60 ft. So as long as my T-5 hold up (thanks again Jeff) and I can get a good holeshot I should be golden. A 10 second streetcar is pretty damn quick anyway. You don't see too many real street cars drive 100 miles plus to the track and run 10's.
