Hey guys, a long time ago, I built up a tidy HK holden. I dropped a balanced 192, good heads w/4 barrel carby elec ignition etc. Anyhoo, it went quite hard. I used to run 60 profile TA's on it. I then had the car lowered and ran 50 series tyres on it - The difference was enormous.

All of a sudden it was a bullet. Granted the speedo was out (in favor of travelling under the speed limit!), but man - it was like the motor had hit form. Recommended. ...ahhh - the memories of burn outs.
