Actually, any of the ones I’ve been involved with have been very docile and have excellent drivability and street manners.

Many of the faster ones live on a diet of high octane race gas, and have cams that aren’t really designed for long term street use, but there are several that see regular street duty, and I’m told they are a joy to drive around...... giving away no clues that they are solid 11-second performers running on their repop bias ply tires.

If I decided to do a FAST engine, it would be for competition and nothing else, (believe me, I think about doing this for fun but on a lower non competition level) but because of the power limitations of a stock head and exhaust manifolds. This becomes less appealing. At least for something I’d like to drive and enjoy rather than street/track race.

A quote from me...

Yes we had a quick chat where you really gave away nothing but suggested a clue and your politeness in expressing confidence in my thought processes on parts selection was really a nice compliment to me.
(Thank you)

If I decided to pursue this endeavor, I would have to make at least one concession, possible a second one just because it will not see consistent track time but for surely, mostly street.

Compression for pump gas and cam size. If I pulled off a ET of 12.5 or better, I’d be really happy with that pump gas mill. These F.A.S.T. car owners gotta be laughing there *** off between the power and handing out a pasting to the unsuspecting.
