Back then i was a Ford tech at a larger Ford dealership and i was the one working on the performance cars along with the two drag car we ran , one Mustang with a 428 S / CJ and a Torenio (sp)with a 428 /CJ in it . Both had the drag pac set up with the 4.30 Detroit lockers and 4 speed . We were also a Shelby dealer ship for the over priced fancy mustang . spent a lot of time going to special performance training and working with the performance engineers building engines up and testing them. spent two weeks learning all about the boss 429 ahead of it being delivered to the dealership . When it arrived at our dealership it came into my area to be checked out and set up . I did the whole set up with adjusting valves setting the dist. and carb , checking fluid levels and all that was on the check in sheet. Then it was time for a TEST DRIVE . I walked over to the service managers office and told Al that we should take it out for a LITTLE SPIN . So off we go down to our TEST track , Ohio route 11 , a new fourlane that only goes five miles I was behind the wheel as we came down the ramp and got it straight when i punched it in first waiting for this monster to turn loose barely broke the tire loose and hardly a squawk out of second and nothing in third . al and i looked at each other as if to say is this all that this thing has got . Vary disappointing . Called it the leading big man on the bosses to come down and see what he though and after his test drive he tells us that oh yea it is fine for street use . The 428 s/cj had three times what it had due to the lack of cam from the factory .
