MeMike, I think it's time.......

I have run 16.8 with 8.4-1 comp stock cam and 30 over, it's mild to say the least. Clifford intake, J.R. header 6-1, Holley 600 and a 2" open spacer.
The car is getting more cam and compression as we speak and shoould touch 14's on pump gas and be driven daily. I have another car that will be built for track only use!
I went way overbourd with the bolt on stuff and did very little to the internals, don't follow suit.
