    Congratulations on some impressive numbers. Did Ron work the heads as well as flow them?

    rotorr22,Thanks,I got the heads off ebay, they were on a 331 twin turbo car and the port work was very good as you can see by the numbers. Ron just flowed them.

    With that much flow those heads should make very good power.A high HP car that is a little heavier is a good thing for traction,also,on a windy day a light car can become a real hairy ride going through the traps at high speed.

    Very true, on my 70 I had to cut the coils to get the nose down because it felt like it was floating through the traps. Not a good feeling at any speed.

    My car weighs 3050 with me on it, I'm 250, and I run a Boss302 with a c4, 9" rear, 8 point bar with subframe connectors, stick fuel tank and all steel and glass, full interior, just heater box pulled out.
