Are you gonna change the gearing in the rear?
Tom's suggestion was "High speed gears" to keep the "RPMS and TOURQE " range at (I beleive) 3800/4800 rpms....Better suited to change the rear end gears (for more speed) then the "cam and rev kit"....But this car has so much tourque and speed......the steering and brakes can't keep up with it! The wheels and tires arrived today. 10" (not really low profile) in front....The rears (12" NOT LOW PROFILE!!!) 12" by 23" tall. My work next will be to "stretch" the rear frame to accept the rear wheels and tires! Then the inner fenders. My dual exhaust arrived from "BC" Canada also....wanted true dual exhaust......but my better judgement will be 2 into 1 and 2 cone mufflers. This build just doesn't stop. Thanks for the interest. Will post pix's as the build continues. Later Dave
