Geez, I hope 13's for sure.
Nice car
not so wild about that cam, what are it's specs? Which heads are on it? didn't say much..?

How's the tranny? Shifter on it? Good clutch? Have any problems speed shifting it?
Or for that matter, when driving on the street, downshifting?

Cam's specs:
duration at .05: 229/236
gross valve lift:.468/.462
lsa:112

heads are from a late 70's 350. They had new valves put in and the valve guides were nurled.
i forget the cast numbers but i remember they had 2.02/1.60 valves

The tranny is very good.
its only 30,000 miles old at the most, along with the car. shifter is stock, little bit of play but not much at all.
the clutch was just replaced with a hays performance clutch one and a half years ago.
I am not the fastest shifter but i can rip through 'em pretty well.
no problems when i downshift, just gotta fight the synchros.

get a bias ply slick and hold on for some low 13's with a perfect driver...good luck with any other tire though.
