To Jeff,

Yes the cam specs are very mild, "almost stock". I idle in gear at almost 18# vacuum. That's what makes the car so responsive in a street scenario, and is also one of the reasons we use the vacuum distributor. All of my numbers were from 1994 and mostly older. Like I said, I really wish I could see what some one with skill could do today, with the more advanced ignition we now have.

It would have to be run again to find out about the end speed. I seriously believe (and always have) that the HEI distributor was the weak link, especially at the top.

BTW, I am impressed you guys noticed... This is the first time anyone has asked.... I always found it curious that no one asked.
