Bill,
Even though it was not required, I upgraded the rear shock mounts. To answer you other questions, HP/TQ are at the flywheel, never had the car on a dyno. It weighs ~2500lbs so the power to weight makes it quite the ride. Never an issue with overheating. Friends also with SPFs have never had an issues. As far a driveability, the car is well balanced and powerful, the Avon tires made a "huge" difference. Expense but worth every penny. In the past, I called Olthoff Racing for recommended improvements and they highly recommended the Avons. At the time, I worked with Elton at Sasco Vintage Racing tires.

I knew there had to be a cut off, but was not certain, thanks.

Excellent, the upgraded mounts are pretty hefty from what I remember. I asked about the engine, as a few have made comments about the stock radiator not being capable of performing with a higher compression, higher HP engine. Good to know yours is not one of them. Also, Elton gets high ratings from everyone he has dealt with that I know.... Thanks for responding so quickly, and good luck with the sale.
