Red car will probably get faster throughout the year. Continue with the stock block stuff for the first part of the year and then step up to a Dart block and a th400. If all goes well of course.
Going to be cool watching this one get quicker and quicker. I want to see how quick you get it to go on the stock block. Keep the RPM in check and the engine out of detonation and it'll probably surprise you on how quick it'll go.
