Ready to admit I need a 750

Here's my previous vent:
http://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/show...hreadid=192658 (Yes, Holley's carb size recommendations are total bunk...)

Today, ran a higher stall converter for the first time. Had been 2200, this thing stalls at 3500. I lost a couple MPH, but picked up over .2 in 60'!

The 60' are below 2.0 for the first time in my life, used to be 2.2's, even at Topeka last year was 2.06 or so. Whole different feeling at launch.

But, now it almost feels lazy going down the track. So, the Proform main body will be ordered soon, and I'll let you know...

Proforms Rocks but be ready to do a jet resize because with the proform you will be getting alot more air.
