Sounds good. It may be an old engine but it still goes well. Good luck wth it.

there is a yellow ke55 with a 3tgte down this way too.

yes its been done before, and yes they go well.

 

I know one roll (KE55?) with a 3t that ran 11.6 on slicks (196rwkw @20psi) and another that ran 12.6 in full street trim (181rwkr @18psi).

 

In fact i just bought the driveline out of the second one :dance:

 

EDIT; the yellow one has now run an 11.3
