New to MIFbody

[Masnart]

Hey all. I'm Mark. Those from the (now decomissioned?) SEMB forum may/may not remember me as WhiteMonteZZZ on there. I have a black on black lightly modified 1980 Trans Am with a '68 Pontiac 400 under the hood. I was (and will be) out at AutoEurope many fri/sat nights with the SEMB/MIFBody crowd.

In my sig image are both my '80 and my father's '77 (also seen out Woodward on many occasions).

I hope to see you guys out Woodward this year and get involved with MIFbody moreso.

[And Brian, I TOLD you I'd register soon enough.]

Hi....I've been to Woodward last summer...I may have seen u or met u before....Welcome to the site...Enjoy!!!

[Masnart]

Thanks!

And to anyone interested, here's a quick rundown my 80:

80 T/A Body
68 Pontiac 6.6L 400, virtually stock internally
69 #62 Heads
TH400 Trans w/shift kit
Edelbrock Performer Intake
Holley 750 carb
Upgraded Ignition
3.55 Rear Axle
Other misc. goodies

*The above is the current setup. I'll be changing it slightly this Spring (due to minor valve problems) and dropping the compression ratio down (I'm running 9.5-10:1 right now, too high for my liking) by means a cylinder head change (to 6x-8 heads with mild work for you Pontiac gurus). I'm also going to go with higher ratio rocker arms (1.65) to offset my limited cam lift. I figure i'll be somewhere in the 7ish:1 compression ratio, but this will allow me to get more ignition timing out of the car (Pontiac motors like timing ). All in all this year it should be pretty well matched for what I want it to do.

Yeah I'm on TAC. I don't post very much on there though. How is the 3.55 rear gear treating you with TH400?
