TR4 vintage racer:

All Kastner book mods
Isky TR666 cam, similar to factory D cam
el cheapo exhaust header
$125 electronic ignition
meticulous preparation
3.7 rear end, Hoosier 5.50 x 15 tires
Tachometer calibrated by Nisonger

I see 6500 rpm at the end of all straights at Road America.

Works out to 125 mph.

With all new suspension components it runs straight as an arrow and is a
thrill and a delight.

Interesting trivia:  six racing weekends = over 400 times above 100 mph

I empathize with anyone who exhibits addictive behaviour....
