Head questions

88workcar · 06-16-2000, 07:42 PM

Hey fellas, I seen where T/S broke 11s. Good job. Now on with it. I have lost the aulm edelbrocks that I had (don't ask) I have a set of ported, big valve, E7TEs. I ran 12.60 @ 108 with them. I am in the process of cleaning them up and redoing them for my car again. What is the most that I should shave them? They are at .030 allready. Or should I deck the block and get the sluggs at -.005 in the hole? I am going with the E cam rather than the B. Also what is the fastest youall have heard of somone running with E7s all motor?

The only way to be completely sure is to clay up a piston and see what kind of clearance you've got. For most applications, I think they recommend maintaining at least 0.100" on the intake valve.

Too bad the bigger valves and porting make the heads illegal for FFW T/S. You would be better off starting with the new GT-40P heads.
