Wouldnt be a bad idea for a rebuild.

Also, I figured out my car was slow when I first drove it and realized that it was not that much faster than my 4D Dodge Intrepid... thats what I call pathetic lol

i wish i could jus throw on gears and beat him

he's getting a brand new rear end w/ numerically high gears

and the 460 w/ new heads, cam, intake and some carb

w/ a rebuilt transmission, shift kit, stall convertor

and to add salt to the wound, his interior is getting redone,

hes getting it painted [the old gold/yellow color]

It's funny that you say that. I notice that if I slug mine around everyday, it starts to feel a bit sluggish. Then I'll go wide open a couple times, and it starts to feel fast again. I think it's the computer running it's game on the A/F mixture.

Guess the motto is : Smack her around a bit and she'll get her A$* back in line.
