Back in the "old days" it was the little things that made the difference! My 68 Camaro was a stock 396-375 HP and it ran 12 flat. The only thing I did was put on headers, got a competition valve job, (changed the valve spring retainers), put in some 4:88 gears, duel electric fuel pumps, line lock, and dumped the old Caslers for a set of M&H slicks and had a guy named "Wild man" Bobby Williams tune it, doing all the little things, timing, jetting, etc. Another important thing was traction! back in those days everyone used Lakewoods but we fabricated a set and they worked a lot better than the ones you could buy at the time. When we put the L-88 short block in the car it ran 11.4s at 126 mph.(not bad for 1969!) [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/
