I'm asking this, as you are ironing out your return to the T2 intake, and such...

Never really left the Torker 2..only for a Cpl months last year.
Without swapping gearing and convertor..it is a challenge..For this year I'm just concentrating on the 60 foots..a squirter change last time seemed to quicken initial throttle response so more carb tweaking,subtle suspension mods(I do still have stock suspension other than CE 3 ways),increasing initial timing and more minor weight reductions.I have thought about increasing compression..but I don't want to mess with the heads for a future project,pulling off my 2.5 tailpipes for possible restriction and weight savings,installing proper relay and wiring for my fuel pump and rerouting lines ,installing a shiftlight for consistant shifts,installing a line lock for consistant burnouts.
I really need more track time...wish I lived closer and had more time!

I'm currently just trying to do it the hard way...I enjoy the challenge..just when I get stumped or stalled another idea comes along..

I'm always open to test any ideas too..as Pontiac Derek has found out...keeping an open mind helps..
