Atco Raceway 6/20/08

It was a junkyard long block with 200k on it... Only thing I did to it was fit a 94 intake manifold and injectors and put on new valve cover seals... I pulled the end covers to make sure it was in time and installed it...

The clutch is the same Spec Stage 3 I have had all along but I never used it on an N/A motor. While the stage 3 had its issues it always pulled out of the hole really well. Without that extra grunt the clutch overpowers the engine when trying to get a good launch and boggs the car out... Thats why my 60' times were never under 2.03. I used to consistantly get 1.8-1.9 60' times with my old 5mt on a stage 2 spec. So that coupled with a tired engine slowed me down for sure. Anyway, more or less a baseline for the car before I order the EM
