We run billet crank with Chevy rods and typically shift at 5800 with Tilden Cam.

2:56 at Road America last fall
1:27 at Blackhawks Farms in June

This is with an interim stock TR3 head off of my 58 TR3A street car until we 
get around to changing to a well prepared head. Hopefully in a month or so.

Feels like a good combination for us.
