My brother said big cams with low compression doesn't work. This thing loves 87 octane, saves me money too.

That is awesome! Nice work pulling that number. I wonder if I could even hit high 12's witht he 347 in mine. It has gone a 10.1 a long time ago with a stroked BBF and 200 shot and the suspension is still the same.  ------------- 68 Galaxie Wagon 390/auto/2.70 03 Bonneville some mods |
