Back in the late 80's in my SE T/A i had a 96 headed 455 [thanks Kyle for the motor],turbo 400,2,800 stall ,3.23 gear.Some guy drove about 20 miles from Decatur.Ga to Riverdale,Ga because he had heard about my T/A.He had a 1980 T/A with a Chebbie 454
,well we ran heads up and by the end of 1st gear he was toast and i won by an EASILY 5 car lengths.Well at payment time somebody yelled that i have a sneaky pete bottle in my door panel and i said No it's behind the driver seat.So after he claimed i cheated,i told him i give him 10 cars but needless to said he wouldn't run me again,i could have put 10 cars on him with just the motor.So after all the heated talking that night i had only one other thing to say to him "you should have left the 301 in there,it probably would have ran faster".
