Default Re: PHR October 1968 396/325 Article

Just finished reading the article and I'm sorry but 13.85 at 98 MPH is embarassingly slow for all that work. That's a pig. I mean that's everything too, 4.10's with slicks, open headers with collector extensions, and it barely squeaks into the 13's? Just imagine with the exhaust hooked back up and no slicks, well for that matter, it wouldn't even need the slicks. I know an L-78 will run it's ass off, but those small horse, hydraulic-cammed 396's are really lacking.
