Roscoe - I have to say that I am extremely pleased with the stability of my car at high speeds. Even on my semi-suicidal "lets find out the top speed of this sucker" run it felt OK. Front end didn't lift, stayed planted firmly, no wandering. But there again, my car is a Crendon, fairly heavy, and best way I could describe it is as a Kirkham with a fibreglass body. Same chassis and stuff, just has jag rear end.

I think my rear end ratio (ooerr) is fine - the first four gears work well, just wish I had known about the alternate ratio for 5th. I think I might just change it one of these days - probably at the same time I pull the engine for some more work. Couple of years off I suspect.
