Very nice for your first pass.  Not bad for a pretty well stock 302

It's hard to beat a weiand stealth intake when it comes to carb'd small block fords.  Great first pass...I bet with more gear, slicks and smaller carb dialed in, you'd be pushing 12's.

Was that at E-town or Atco?

Good luck,
Don

Man I wish the video was you whooping on that civic, Beating a old BB car is still good though.

Plan to is to get it fixed asap n possibly upgrade the cam to little bigger one.  Gonna possibly run it on 26x10slicks I am thinking mid 12's wit the e303 cam. Car still set up for spray wit a nitrous converter
