Do yourself a huge favor and stay away from the street racing. Not worth it.

Actually its nothing but a car show and occasionally someone drags and struts their stuff out in the middle of no where safely and away from people. I say that because thats what i was originally caleld now its just a gathering of friends but invite only and alot of people, I'm not gonna be street racing but just showin my ride off having a good time, Btw Tod check out my bodywork project post maybe you could gimme some good insight please sir.

Be sure to put them all in one container and shake well before reassembly. At least thats how it ends up in my garage...

I read a book long ago: How to build Hot-Rod big block Chevy's... written in the 60's I think. It was great about cams, taught me about closed/open chamber heads, some info about carbs, everything... I still have that book in the shop. It was my first intro to altered motor/basics. Good luck & welcome.
