Honestly gentlemen the stock A with a well rebuilt engine, front end, steering and brakes should be able to do 55-60 easy. I remember back in 91 when we were lapping the Indy track for the meet and I had 4 people in my tudor and we did 73 lapping around the track with astock engine and 354 rear. I cruise in the freeway all the time with my tudor and it does 60-65 just fine . I do run a 23percent Ryan overdrive and 3:54 rear with a Snyder head. My brakes stop on a dime and the car tracks wonderfully.
