Sounds pretty cool, The motor sounds pretty close to the same as mine. I would say the car should go into the 6's somewhere around 100mph. But whats up with the stock vega converter. I havnt heard of anyone doing that in a while. You should really looking into getting a decent converter that somewhat matches what you want to do. Oh and I see your are from San Diego, where are you gonna plan on running it im from san diego also.
