I knew there had to be a cut off, but was not certain, thanks.

As far a driveability, the car is well balanced and powerful, the Avon tires made a "huge" difference. Expense but worth every penny. In the past, I called Olthoff Racing for recommended improvements and they highly recommended the Avons. At the time, I worked with Elton at Sasco Vintage Racing tires.

Excellent, the upgraded mounts are pretty hefty from what I remember. I asked about the engine, as a few have made comments about the stock radiator not being capable of performing with a higher compression, higher HP engine. Good to know yours is not one of them. Also, Elton gets high ratings from everyone he has dealt with that I know.... Thanks for responding so quickly, and good luck with the sale.
