1984 Chevy shortbed with a 305 and 3.73 rear end. Smoked the first set of tires in less then 10.000 miles. Second set wasn't much better. It would spin the tires going into 3rd gear (with some engine mods) and beat a lot of race trim cars and pickups on the 1/8 mile. On the quarter mile it just didn't have enough top-end speed. It was about a week old in these pictures. Had the rims and tires waiting for it when I picked it from the dealer. After 2 weeks it got Headman headers, 30" glass packs and 3" echo chambers straight out the back. It improved the mileage 2 mpg and was getting 22-23 mpg at 55 mph. Problem was, I couldn't drive 55 and didn't stay stock very long.
