I think this is pretty much what Ron and Bird had in mind. But the big thing I'd like to try in this case is to go E85. That would be our challenge as well as our little talking point. I'm guessing, but an aggressive E85 tune (cool charge, 105~ octane) on a high spinning big cam, LT headers, etc. should be good for hi 300s maybe even crack a 400 to the wheels on the 306. We could also keep the IRS and that plus not having the blower means the car would be quite a bit lighter, maybe down to <=2,500lbs.

I'm using hydraulic roller springs with my Soild lifter cam. It's just me though.
We sell Comp Cams here (not a fan) and ALWAYS use the springs Comp Cams says to use.
Here's a "Brutal" question: If we go NA, are we using ONE or TWO carbs?
