[Shotimes] 1990 Chevy Caprice

[Ryan M. Dudek]

Don't know about the 1990 body style, but my mechanic friend who welds cams
for some local v8sho owners runs his 1996 Impala SS in the Silverstate
Races.  Rebuilt motor, a little help from Vortech (ok, a lot of help from
Vortech) and far taller gearing and he has been over 200mph.  I believe
wheel hp numbers on that car are somewhere in the 810hp range.  Strange to
see a car with that much horsepower that is only good for a 14.0 in the 1/4.
I wouldn't consider running him in the 1/2 mile though :o)
