Question for you Jimmy ?...1st off Great ET....but i am betting you coming in a little lighter then the 69 camaro i have...
My car weighs whatever a stock 69 camaro weighs from the factory, plus a 10 point cage,subframe connectors and slapper bars.....and i am 230lbs :shock:
so i am guessing i might be maybe....what ?? 3300/3400 lbs with driver ?
i would think our Gearing would be close due to the tire height difference.
oh yes i am running a flat tappet in this car also..i am very seriously thinking about running this car in a few ORSCA races this year...the 7.00 class.
gonna pick it up a little...got a 144 bm blower...also gonna look at changing to a roller, slicks, ,and a break...this should get me close enough to the index without having to be perfect every pass.. :roll:
