Thread: i just got my cutlass running

Tweet

I just got my cutlass running the other night after a long hiatus. I had had a cracked head and replaced the heads and needed a new flywheel, so put in a new converter and some other stuff here and there. Anyways. I'm gonna take her to the track this week and run her. I want to run it now with the gears it has and see how much of a difference the new gears make. I wanted to get an idea on what you guys think i might run.

It's a 1988 Olds Cutlass
350 sbc
350 turbo transmission
stock bottom end
64cc 350 heads with 2.02/1.60 manley valves
crane hydraulic with a duration of 228° at.50,480 lift
harland sharp aluminum 1.6 roller rockers(giving me a valve lift of .512)
2800 stall converter
b&m stage 1 and 2 shift kit
edelbrock performer rpm intake manifold and 650 performer carb
accel distributor with accel hei ignition module, rotor, cap, coil, wires, plugs
2.56 limited slip rear

about 3700 lbs with me in it.

I'm just trying to get some ideas and maybe some ideas of what you think i'll run when i put the 3.73 gears in. Thanks
