a friend of mine races (a '65 i think) completely stock, apart from 2 single bore Kadrons, a Kadron exhaust system (its actually crappy and discontinued) and the latest addition was a set of 1.4:1 rockers along with shortened pushrods.

The kadron muffler is similar style to the glasspack, but the header is one of the worst from a flow point of view.

Considering the lightened weight and short ratio gear box it accelerates really well and has no hesitation if u hold the throttle around mid range and floor it suddenly while cruising (it is still street legal). it gave the feeling of accelerating a bit slower than my 1776 in a 1303 with a 1300 gearbox and full interior etc. we never went head to head. you really need to rev it hard thought...
