Denver and the dragstrip that's @ 5830ft of altitude, so ya figure out how to combat this thin *** air & chitty DA's!.
This one is an old jenkins deal with slakov heads, yada yada so i'm not sure.....that'd be nice to find one with a single cast type intake to get a better weight brake in this all motor class they've got going here in colorado! Those 4.5 bore space r07's are gonna be bad azz, but waaaaay pricey!
