   I used to launch the Olds off idle, like 1400 rpms or so. Back then
I was concerned about running out of pump shot, even though I had a
late cam on the Holley. Of course, this was a street race car and
reaction times were not critical. The Torino is mucho heavier than the
Mustang or Maverick (or as powerful), so I may not creep as badly. I
don't know what's inside that C6 at all. I've heard some companies'
brakes for a C6 are not too swift. What's your opinion?
