I'm sort of amazed those old cars didn't run quicker. For the guys that were there..how much did these cars pick up with good exhaust and tires? A few examples of the smog era>>>> My son's 80 trans am ran 14.0 at 99 mph with a relatively stock 76 low compression 400 with 3.42 gears but had a 3000 convertor on street tires, 3 tube headers and 2.5 inch exhaust. A few years earlier we messed around with a 85 cutlass with a stock worn out 1980 350 Chev engine 2400 convertor and 3.42 gears and that thing ran mid 14's on street tires.
