We put over 160K miles on our COPO car the first time around and never broke anything. There were a lot of 6K plus shifts in that time. Using heavier valve springs and a rev limiter and you just about can't hurt one of these engines. If you want to show the car, that's fine. If you want to race it, that's fine too. There seem to be a lot more people taking their cars out and enjoying them. It's almost impossible to have a perfect show car and drive it too. Personally my wife and I just like to hop in the car and go for a nice long drive. The most fun we ever had was the drive down to Maple Grove for the Super Chevy show in our L78 car. The run to Woodward Avenue was equally as fun. We video taped a lot of the run to Woodward and the tape entertains us during the winter months. Just make sure that you enjoy these cars, in whatever way you see fit. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
