careful what you wish for..........

Yeah, that power is no joke. It's a little-known fact that any big-block Firebird/TA up to '79 will do an insane, airshow-style burnout-- It's the high-school and zits engineering combo of high axle ratio, heavy/light front/ rear, respectively, and lots of torque.

I have first-hand experience w/a '74 RA 455 Formula, 3.08 axle, TH-400. Laugh if you wish, Chevy-boys, but from a stop, that thing would actually get into third gear during burnout, with speedo well over 100 mph until it started to catch speed. It was insane-- Tire smoke would come inside the car!

I thought I heard yours shift into high...? Am I smoking something (pardon the pun)?
