thanks. I actually ditched the .28 in favor of a Mach .26. I think it accelerates quicker with this engine. So much so, that I just bought a LST2 and sold the new 427 and put another .26 in it.

You do NOT have to do all the stuff Ive done to mine to go fast. Ive got a buddy with a bone stock MGT and on a very very simple home made track he could keep up with me most of the time - it was actually kind of embarrassing. Driving skill is always the great equalizer.
