Get some sticky tires. Dont get bummed out if it dont run great the first time out. Sounds like a great combo there. One thing though, you might want to look into an Edelbrock RPM manifold. BTW, welcome to Third Gen!

Race weight? Converter? Is it a flat tappet hydraulic cam? Tires? DP carb? What kind of aluminum heads?

get a 750 DP over a 750 VS definately. ditch the torker for a performer RPM air-gap and are the heads performers? or performer RPMs ....if the latter then good, if the former then it was probably a waste of money for them.

I would ASSsume that you would be in the neighborhood of 3600 lbs. My car weighs that with the race rims, fiber hood, full interior, and A/C.

One more thing, that cam would love an 11 to 1 C/R.
