would have wanted a big stall for that cam to work.our naturally aspirated cam was a small 32/76 with only 460 tho valve lift and a manual at the time.triple dellortos feeding it.most of the time smaller is better,but any 13 sec car is a tough streeter.
my turboed motor has a cast "blue crank",$400 duralite pistons and shot peened starfire rods.its still putting up with about 800 flywheel horsepower and the setup is 12 years old with no breakages yet.starting to push the limits now though.

It was manual! (crappy 4 speed, they always get stuck in 2 gears when do a descent shift).
I've had some v8's with big converters though.
It had triple dellortos too but they kept going out of tune so i put the 4 barrel on.
Yours sounds like an awesome set up, you should make a video and put it on youtube so we can have a listen.

I should be going down there, hopefully.
Hmm. I think that's when an assignment is due for uni though.
Oh well, should be right - looking forward to seeing some beautiful reptiles.

[slimebo]

also forgot to mention that the expo is non-profit.once (if) the money is made to cover the costs the rest will be donated to a wildlife charity.the charity wont be named untill we actually make a profit so we are not giving false promises.Kooranna Crocadile farm have said that they will bring 2 crocs to have on display and for people to hold which is great news.
cheers
simon
