Default 7500 RPM

389 +.065 (401)
RAIV CRANKSHAFT (donated by the local Pontiac dealer)
455 SD rods - beams polished, shot peened, big end set at lower specs, bushed for .927 pin
Brooks pistons (579 gr with pin)
SK intake with 1050 Holley
RAIV HEADS ported & machined by myself
Lunati solid roller

Shifted @ 72-7300 and went through the traps @ 7500.

When I got out of racing, the FB became a street car for 10 years. Three changes I made was to replace the 1050 with a SK tunnel ram (2 650 DP), install 10 in converter and reduce gearing to 4.88. In that period of time I only put 1000 miles on the car, then parked it in 1996.
