Don't feel bad, I took a radical cam out of a 64 vette. It drove better, started better and it still had more power that the car could take. I also put 350 sbc heads on a tuned port 304 reducing the compression to about 8-1 It ran ok too, but it sounded kinda like a six cly. Our cars don't have to prove anything, just read the history books, it's been there and beat the best.
Yeah and I have never had my car over 100 MPH anyway. It is thirty two years old. Do I want to trust brakes that old and brake lines and wheel bearings?? There is just way too much that can go wrong. I don't race it. The idea of trying to bang gears down the drag strip makes me cringe. I like my car to drive. I have nothing to prove. I like driving it on the highway, at the speed limit. I like people waving at me and giving me the thumbs up.
