I would love to have tested the performance of each parts combination along the way, but it just doesn't usually work that way. Often times there were many modifications performed at once or I didn't make it to the track for a while. Maybe, I would get to the track, but perhaps conditions were extreme enough to skew results. I will also admit that it was rare that I got a combination dialed to it's full potential before making major modifications. I think I am finally almost where I want to be. But, on the other hand maybe a I could fit a 572cid big block! It's never ending!Performance To Parts Log:
