Most real men will prefer a 69 with what is pictured. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

I managed to recover some of my old Chevelle pics off of some old floppy discs.

As fate would have it, nope [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img].

Just after I got the `cage certified and harnesses installed, I was planning on taking it to Kil-Kare. I went to the local cruise-in the day before T&amp;T (when it was at the Steak &amp; Shake, before it moved to Company 7).

As I was coming home, the engine lost a roller lifter. I pulled it down, fixed the damage from that, buttoned it all back up, got it running again and in less than 30 minutes of run time it snapped the head off a valve.

I threw in the towel on the 572 at that point and built a mild 9-1 496 for it so I could sell the car. That 496 wound up running 6.50's @ 111 (in the 1/8 mile of course) with the car's new owner. That roughly translates out to 10-teens @ 130+. (FWIW, there was still no comparison between the 572 and the 496--the 572 would've mauled the 496)

He subsequently added a Vortech supercharger to the 496 and changed the cam. It ran 5.50's @ 135+ in the 1/8 afterwards. That roughly translates out to 8.60's @ ~160-ish.
