Josh, I feel the same way after putting a couple hundred miles on my .64 TKO 600, and I do have EFI. I have 3.70s (should have stayed with my original 3.89s but downsized out of concern for traction issues). I try to keep the rpms at least 2100-2200rpms but I cam is pretty big as well.


Great lookin Bird and nice recap. Nice to see you and your dad together with it. Thanks for sharing!
