What's a GTECH ?
How does it pull UP TO 4500?
What kind of cam and rear gears are/were you running?

Thanks for chiming in !!

A gtech is a performance meter you mount in the car. The ET on them is usually pretty close to a track but the mph is usually 3-5 mph higher than a track would be.

I bought the engine from a guy that had it rebuilt. He said it was a totally stock 454 rebuild.

I have 3.73 gears and have a 28" tire. I have a 3500 stall converter in a TH350 tranny. Seems like it is all done maybe 2/3 of the way through the quarter and pulls slowly after that.

There will be another set of peanut ports on Ebay once I have the cash to replace them.
