Tact - The ability to make a point without making an enemy.
all the same motor.. just progressive work as i got bored with how slow it was...
with headers, best pull of 4, corrected #'s were 413 @ 5650 and 427 ft-lb @ 4600... and it'll idle in gear @ 750 rpm without a hiccup...
this is how she sit's right now...
I am guessing that you are running well above 70. Does she dance around a bit at that speed?Originally Posted by Rootsy

Best GPS is 81.3... not too bad honestly with the alpha SS and hydromotive...Originally Posted by Louisville Boater
Looks tough, Jamie! I especially like the corvette finned aluminum valve covers but it looks like you pulled them in the last photo. I guess you figured it looked a little confusing being painted Ford blue (close enough, ha ha)! Barbi still remembers your trick you mentioned last year about pushing the GPS forward at top speed to gain a couple more mph's! Is that where the 81.3 comes from? Just razzin' ya! Hope to see ya at AOTH,
tom
