    That's good to know. I know the tune is not right because it seems to load up...plugs 2 and 6 were pretty fowled for sure and I believe 5 if I remember right. I did switch wheels and am now running 255/60-15 non sticky. Noticed at 60 I'm now running 2500rpm.

    Shorty headers for RPM Performer 60179

    Any recommendations for shorty headers for the Edelbrock RPM Performer 60179 heads? I have these on my '72 340, 4spd. Currently have full headers but not sure what kind they are. (Bought car last year) I don't like how low they hang and it's difficult to miss road kill around here. Thanks...

    I have heard that the a518 overdrive might be an option. What are your thoughts on that? Gear ration to far apart?

    Yeah joking on the selling thing. I have very little experience so all the information made my head hurt trying to figure out what it all meant lol One minute I thought something was seriously wrong, next it was like motor could be just fine, more drive train cuz it's a pretty tall sticky...

    Thanks for all of the good information. I will start with a compression test. It is the original transmission so I'm sure it's not an overdrive. The tires are 275/60x15 and it is a '72 block 340. It is an H code so not a slanty.

    Thanks for all of that information! I wish I had all the answers but I did not build it and could not get the cam specs from the guy I bought it from. Yes, 550 HP was out of a hat. Not going to be a race car for sure, just a few shows but more cruising. I want to go to an automatic because...

    Do you recommend going with a 727 and Gear Vendor overdrive then? Or a Tremec or another brand?
