Thanks Jack21,
My Tiger is not entirely stock anymore. I have disc brakes on all four corners. I am running 15" wheels with 195-55/R/15 Dunlop Z rated tires. The clutch is a 10.5" McLeod performance unit, and a Scheiffer aluminum flywheel makes the connection along with an NHRA certified scatter shield. The tranny is a wide ratiore top loader. The motor has an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap intake, 600cfm Holley, Mallory dist and ignition. the motor is a K-Code 289 that has no head work, but has had the internals balanced and lightened, there are also headers and dual 2.25" exhaust, and an Aviad road race oil pan. The cam is a close hyd copy of the solid K code cam. This motor works ok but is starting to show its wear, and simply needs a rebuild. If I have to go throught the whole thing, why not try and bolt on some more power while I am at it?
