Hello again, thanks in advance (thanks for answering my questions) What valve springs do you use and what is the pressure used and what rocker are you using? Trick Flow etc? Thanks for your help.

Outstanding! It's lighter than I expected. Have you tried going down to 13-12 lbs in the tires? Maybe that will help the 60ft, of course that slows reaction time a tiny bit because the tires have to wind up a little more. I'm impressed with your consistency with the stick with lifting on the gas on the shift. I agree, with the decision to put it up for the season while it's running great. Wipe it down, put a wrench on everything, drain the water, get the slicks off the ground. Now, get those edges sharp and lube and test release the bindings, maybe loosen the settings just a tiny bit till you get warmed up. Carve some turns and bash some moguls for me. None of that down here in Alabama. I have an input seal leaking on my C6 in my 64 Galaxie, so I guess I'll pull the trans soon.
