Dave, VR1 is good oil. Pettis has seen bearings, pistons, cams, etc after seasons with Brad Penn. He said it's better than VR1. Marginally I'm sure.
If you are coming from drums, then you may very well have the knockback. Do you have power brakes or manual. I'm guessing manual with that huge cam.

Good deal on the VR1. It was in the motor when I got the car, and we changed it and decided to keep using it after looking into it and seeing it seemed like a quality oil.
Yep, I am a manual braker. Looks like I am headed for Team Knockback.

Personally, I'd put a floating caliper on it now and sell that kit. At the very least, make sure those axle bearings are tight.

Thanks Todd. Since this new kit is already installed I think we'll see how it plays out. Hell, I might not even notice what is going on.

Thanks G. Ha, yeah Rich tried to persuade me to relocate the MSD box and I said no way. I'm going old school and simple on this one.  Wish you were coming to El Toro with us...

Oh, you'll notice...  Since your car isn't mini tubbed and doesn't have the monster lip, you may very well be OK. Either way, it's to late. ha ha
