Hmm, I don't seem to have that problem.  Could a shorter duration cam
have something to do with that?  I didn't do the work, I bought it the
way it is, so I have no idea what kind of bumpstick is in there, but I
seem to get pretty good power all through the band.  Never had it
dyno'd...

Do you want polite or do you want sincere?

Bob,

you have some problems.

First, you need to move where you can hit that 100 without worrying about a
trooper around every corner.

Second, in stock form, the C2 lifted much more than the C3.  So something is
amiss.

Does your '64 have a spoiler?  Or is the rear high, nose low?  It was common
for people to alter the ride height long ago and after awhile, they seemed
normal.  Dropping the nose on the C2 actually helped handling, unlike the
tail in the air drag racing stance on many cars.  This is because it helped
keep air out from under the nose and changed the lift on the front in.

You C3s, do they all have their front spoiler?  Have you dropped the tail on
them or someone else?  Dropping the rear end to get lower without also
dropping the front increases the lift and the C3 was a delicate balance,
indicated by the fact that only a 1-1/2 inch deep spoiler would hold it on
the ground.  Be sure all vents in the front are open and not blocked.  The
side louvers are very necessary to prevent lift, yet people like to stuff
overflow bottles, alarms, horns, etc. in those areas and block the exit air.

The '76 may have had the big rubber spoiler, but I can't remember.  If not,
you can get the big spoiler for the '74 454 with AC to put on.  It is about
3 or 4 inches deep and makes a difference, both in handling and cooling.
But I think you said something once about having the Pace Car spoilers, or
was that on your '79?
