If you can't run with the big dogs stay on the porch.

One trip through the gears in one of those 400 plus hp Tigers and you'll
spit on a stock 260.  A stock Tiger is nice to look at and fun in its time
but once you turn the tires with some real power you'll never go back.
"There ain't no such thing as too much horsepower."

T-GRRR  B9470168
322 ci of Weber-carbureted, roller-cammed,
nitrous-injected, stroked small-block Ford.
Not a ride for the faint-of-heart.
