    very good~!


    Indexing plugs should put a couple ponies in the bag.
    Lock-out timing.
    Skinny fronts for less rolling resistance.

    When we dynoed my 460 we took out the 195 deg thermostat and put in a 165,it picked up 14 hp just running that little bit cooler,also when at the track don't be afraid to try a few things,advance or retard the timing a few degrees,make sure the throttle is going wide open[sounds stupid but it happens] try different launch rpms.No car is the same they all have something they like best.Derek.
