... and how did you drive/use it?
I just picked up a set of FPP X307 heads with the 58cc chamber and I'm planning on using them with a Weiand X-CELerator 7515 on my otherwise stock '85 roller shortblock. I still have my T5 and 10" clutch along with the 7.5" rear in the car. Pretty much decided that if I cam it I'll use a TFS Stage 1 that's collecting dust right now. I have zero intention on making any drag strip passes, power-shifting, or running sticky tires. I might even keep the 2.73's, just cause. Total street cruiser. Maybe I'll try to carve some cones once or twice to see what it's like but this car is really going to stay 99.95% non flat out aggressively driven for the rest of it's foreseeable life with me.
Previously I had a '95 GTS. I broke two T5's and one was big dollar unit that made exactly 1 pass and broke in the burnout box before the second run. Whatever... It stung, but that car ultimately got a Tremec 3550, CF Dual Friction, and the 8.8" rear had a girdle put on. It was drag raced a bunch both 1/4 and 1/8 with 150 shot lighting off in second gear (only 1/8 mile on the sauce) and all the drive-train stuff held up great with ET Streets and BFG Drag Radials. However I never left at anything more than 3200 RPM and that was with plenty of left foot modulation. I know how abuse will break stuff. This question isn't about that kind of application.
So, how have you made out with around 270-290 HP and 290-320 TQ to the ground with stock 4 eyed running gear? How did you drive yours? Love to hear your experiences.
