Default lil red express

torque junkie, the last i read,back in '78 the lil red express with w-2 heads beat everything including the vette that year...with w-2 heads which were later cancelled once the truck went into production. with the w-2's it ripped along at about a 13.20 something i think and on regular heads it dropped to about a 14 something. so go buy it put on some edelbrock heads and have fun!

Confused

I raced one at the Bracket Finals a couple years ago. He was dialed in the mid-16's.

Default lil red E.T.'s

wow, he doesnt have something right....i built a 318 with a .480 cam and 9.5:1 compression and done better than that (in my Warlock; same truck same weight) with 360 heads shaved off a little.intake was a edelbrock dual plane with a 750 afb. theres definitely room for improvement with his lil red!
