who runs 13sec to 12.80 in the 1/4

Somebody beat me to it.. Patience is the key. Building take time. You have plenty of it. Make use of it. I got lucky, my first car ('71 Barracuda 318) was runnign decent when I got it. 'course, then I ran it hard, overheated it, and warped the heads. That was just after I swapped on a stock 4bbl intake, and adaptor, a used/abused 3310 750 Holley, painted the valve covers chrome (remember that??), and pulled the glass pack to iunstall a top of the line Sonic Turbo muffler with teh chrome tip. If there was anything one could do wrong, I did it on that car. That was 20 years ago this October...lol. I keep a baggie filled with the remains of the 340 I detonated to death hanging over my work bench as a reminder. Patience... I'm on a bunch of websites. Bar none, this one has the best nurturing atmosphere if you're new to mopars. So sorry if we're coming accross harsh. It's 'cause "we're old" and think we all know better ;).

Edit: I almost forgot, on the 318... I had to make a sheild to fit over the crossover pipe from the driver's side, because the intake swap resulted in one WHALE of an oil leak. Yes, I made a shield out of tin before I replaced "the new gasket.." My family are not into cars. So I had no support...lol
