Hehehe...and just what would your humble opinion be based on?

I've driven this thing in Fresno heat in stop and go every doggone summer since 2003...when the temps are way past 100 degrees (not something you'll see alot of in SB I suspect) with a big cam (.680 lift). Runs exceptionally cool (185-195), never hesitates, never stumbles. About a dozen folks watched it idle at Ontario two SAACs ago in 100+ temps for about 45 minutes while I charged a dead battery...never got past 190 degrees and held idle at 800 rpm the whole time. It starts easy, idles easy, doesn't blow oil out of the breathers, the carb never loads up, etc.

So again giggleass, since you have an opinion about how my car runs, what is it based on?
