"After a successful season in 2000 with the new 473 engine and finding out what it's performance capability was with after market parts, Jim decided to revert back to a stock style cam and induction system."
"With that in mind, off came the the Edelbrock RPM intake, the Holley carb, and out came the Wolverine 234/244/112 LS camshaft."
"Jim reinstalled his trusty 1969 Q-jet and modified the intake. Specifically, the intake runners were cleaned, straightened, and enlarged to standard gasket size for better airflow."
"This performance level compared favorably to the events in 2000 with similar weather where the car ran in the 11.53 @ 115.5 range with 1.59 60' times."
