Thanks Shoe, I probably should have put more info in my post. I running a new LSD which works well, traction is abit of an issue, but not too bad. The C6 was mildly shift kitted when rebuilt 3 yrs ago. Ditched the points last month in favor of Pertronix - much smoother but didn't really effect ET or MPH on 1/4.
Your right, the hookers didn't mate well with the heads. I actually had them fitted by a race mechanic & modified to line up better with the ports on the heads (we actually had to pull the engine out to do this properly!) All your suggestions are good ones, I've done nearly all of them & they all helped.
Aside from a roller cam or nitrous, what else is there (stroking with 428 crank is also too expensive). Any other suggestions?
Thanks again, Jeff
