The car weighs about 3500 lbs with me in it. The car got stripped and In some ways it got lighter but then as stuff like a roll bar and box steel cross member got added along with the 9" rear the weight came back. At about 2900-3000 the car wants to do more than the brakes will hold. With the xe 274 cam I have a torque monster more than likely in the amount of cubes I have. When I get back over the hill to my house from the parents I will try to get the video up. Like I said earlier, dad is a better engine builder than camera man. Guess I will have to take mom next time to operate the critical camera....
