    stock 89 short block, X cam, compcams short travel race lifters (due to failure of factory one, not fun), Ported RPM heads (2.05 intake valve), K-code intake (now being replaced by ported performer due to crack in water jacket leaking into the intake port)10.75 comp. stock exhaust manifolds ex-honed, topped of with a 600cfm Autolite all built by myself..."super stock/ stocker NHRA modified carb" a lot of research. Car is faster than any body could have expected the od combo to go. Car on street tires with a 2.02 60ft still went 12.78 at 110 with a bad alignment 1.0%+ pos tow out both sides"fixed now"and running out of fuel on the big end with stock mechanical fuel pump. Fixing all the problems and hoping to hit the track next month on slicks and go for bottom 12's on the motor and high 10's nottom 11's on the top shot NOS kit. :) wish me luck will try to post pics once i get the car all back together
