seems like your the only one gettin the idea. when it was together it had 10.2 to 1 compression. i tore it down. when i find a new rear end im gonna get some serious gearing. i was thinkin in the 5s. they sellm. lol. itll launch hard but top out quick. thats basically all i want. i dont want a 150mph car. im not gonna take it over 120 anyways. much. if i do get the gears im lookin for im gonna try to find a wide ratio 4 speed for it. maybe a 5 speed. idk. i want to get to 60 in the 4 second range.
