No you didn't. I purposely didn't publish them. Only the losers will see the result if they line up next to it...


Let's put it this way. It's very quick.

A WORLD of difference in running and the sound even changed.


As I told "Sam" ---- "dude! It's lazy and my guess is it's pig fat"....... OH YEAH --- it was pig fat -- and it ain't lazy now. Nice torque right off idle... rev's very quickly.

He also tuned the transmission to the drivetrain/gears/tall tires.... put the lockup to kick in at 50 MPH. Nice difference in holding the car in 3rd gear under that. Much mo snappy. But not stupid... My '32 gets a little stupid quick in the lower gears -- but it's running 4:30 rear gears and a 5 speed and the 8 stack... which is very quick throttle response.

If we'd left room for a "performance" intake and put some real headers on this one --- and changed the rear end gearing (it now has 3:57) it'd be scary. I don't want scary for Gwen. Quick and sporty is okay... and it's very linear.

Sweet music, I'm now looking for an LS to put into my 75 chev van to use as an everyday spring and summer driver. Love the car and the sound of that dyno run doesn't get any better.

Sounds like a 1994 Chevy Beretta.

You have no idea how appreciative I am of your letting me have the motor from your DD. I'm not sure how I'll ever be able to repay your kindness!
