Jury is still out on that one...haven't been able to beat on it at the top end yet. As for in town it has a quite a bit more jump than it had, it really likes to rev now. It sure takes off like a scared rabbit from the line ;). I'm getting slightly better mileage as well. If the roads ever dry up here then I'd like to give it a real top end blast (bounce it off the rev limiter through 3 gears...4 if it'll take it ;))....I will say that it pulls a bit harder at 120km/h when there's no head wind :) It makes the most wonderful sounds as well, a very throaty growl when I stomp on it...nice low lumpy idle :)

Here's what I have done to it:
.020 over pistons
Head milled .010, intakes and exhausts ported
Calmini cam, header, muffler, cat and 2" exhaust
Throttle body spacer
Ricer short ram intake with cone filter ;)

I'm thinking about cutting out the cat and possibly getting an underdrive pulley...an electric fan couldn't hurt either. Was also wanting to get 5.83 gears but I'd need a 12bolt rear end first  :-/
