im not too worried about it. I just got it running for him yesterday (previous owner had the ignition timing off and some other little things)
His tires suck though, the suspension probably hasnt been touched in years and the lowering springs are so soft i can compress the coils by hand (i guess a sub 2000 pound car doesnt need much spring though..) dual sidedraft webbers and an open header back.
that cars future is to be sideways anyway after some more parts come in.
Were about equal as far as drivers go but these are some pretty aggressive mountains, I feel like my tight gearing and bottom end is where ill come out on top.
