Thanks for that info.
They must be a good set of heads.
Must turn a fair bit of rpm on the hgh way!
Rod Richardsons tranny uses a 1.12 fourth gear, and that novelty wears off pretty fast.

Looks like those tall 1st and 2nd gears are what killed the ET.

Good stuff!

Its a VW at the drags, thats all that matters. The fact that its quick adds more cred.
