I've also done some homework on 2nd gen F-bods who have gone 200+ MPH, as they have a similar profile as the Javvy. But power overcomes all...as the Big Red '69 Camaro had the aero of a brick, but still went well over 200 MPH.
That's good. At least you have some idea of where you need to be. J.R. Gottlieb's Big Red Camaro instantly jumped to my brain too. His original power plant was a Lingenfelter prepped all aluminum 540 I think.

What kind of suspension work is done? Lowered?

Peace
