1980 Blue Pontiac Formula

Back up and running after rebuild. 068 cam sounds really good and is very streetable. Curious to see how it would do at the track, but they have stopped running test and tune and the quarter mile which really stinks. Hoping to switch back to 3.08 gears to take better advantage of increased torque.
