No doubt. You have to go to the spring rental down at Atco come April 27th. It's being held by a local site here in NY and they are a great bunch of guys that I know you will get along with. I'm not gonna race cause I wont have a cage by then but I think you should see what your car can do.

I run mine at atco,,no cage either....they are pretty lienient with my group we have done over a dozen rentals there over the years. We have ours on may 18 u guys are welcome to come also.

Still contemplating if I should do the 327's now or later :shrug: I'm def happy that it's finally getting done.

I think you should wait for later. I went to 3.73s before I knew I was going to upgrade my engine. Now with the "stage 2" cams I'm glad I did. It doesn't drive well slow (parking lots and such) because of the lopey idle, so the low gears help. You should wait till you get your engine done. You may change your mind.

I will def wait cause I didnt put my cams in that equation.

Verts are good for only mid 12 second passes everyone knows that. Just post a thread titled "vert or coupe help me decide" and watch how many posts come in stating coupes are made for racing and verts are made for cruising the local blvd picking up chicks!!!!!

holy crap! just read all 8 pages of this thread. Sounds like you went through one hell of a ride with that motor. and after reading this, i think i will probably only go with a 2.3 whipple up to 20lbs of boost, no more that 18* timing and on pump 93. I have no plans of racing. I just love to cruise and hot rod around town. I'm in jersey as well fellas. Mach1033 sorry you had to go through that, but it sounds like you are going to have one hell of an engine now.

The picking up chicks part is correct, but they left out slamming their heads into the head rest every shift and scarring the shit outta them spinning the tires @ 100mph in 3rd gear on the freeway, that gets them rev'd up !!! yea so verts suck i hate mine so much im never selling it, lol !!! :banana:
