RE: More power for 390 - what's the next step?
By Jeff - 04/22/2001 4:55:00 PM; IP 203.96.111.200
Hi people. Thanks for all the advise, it's all good & I appreciate it. A couple of things, I am running the pertronix setup & I really like it. With my 14" wheels, 235/60 tires & 3.5 gears it already seems to rev harder than it should. It's doing 3000+ cruising on the HWY (frequently 4000+!). This surprises me as wouldn't have thought 3.5 would rev so high. They are definitely 3.5 too. Will jack up car & do rotate thing to check exactly what ratio I'm getting on the street. I think I'II get stickier (& wider) tires. May also consider a squirt of nitrous at some stage. Off now to find a nice quiet country road & leave 2 smoking snaking black marks stretching off into the distance.... and the sound of an FE shifting just shy of 6000rpm.
Cheers
Jeff
