Cruising RPM and Manual Trans Options

...but this is a driver anyway...if it see's track time it will be extremely rare.

That's like saying, "I guess 300 horsepower will be enough", next thing you know you're tearing it all apart again to make it 400 horsepower and so on, lol. I'm sort of in that boat now. It's a blast to drive with the power it has as is, but I can't help thinking in the back of my head that 100 more would be even more fun :P. The cracked oil pan and smoke I saw at the track last week just means I need to get a new short block and put on those heads and cam that I want...
