This car had the # 524886 cam in it a few years ago. I installed 2 batt. in the trunk. Also added 2 heavy tool boxes and a small jack to keep the vehicle from fish tailing in the rain with the 3.23 gears and posi-traction. Now that I have the "041" cam in it and I have never removed the weight from the trunk because I have 8.5" tires all the way around. This car will still light them if I am not careful. All I am trying to do with the adjustable timing gear is to set the key to launch instead of leaving all the power range up were I don't need it . I won't be taking this vehicle to WFO any more unless I get "z" rated tires. The tires just can't take the speeds in excess of 80 mph according to cooper gt tire max ratings.
