Did go to the track last night (Sat., 25th) and ran a best of 13.68 at 101.5. Nice conditions 65 F and not too humid.

Apparently the new heads are good for about .3 off the ET and maybe 2 MPH on the trap speed. Old MPH did average only about 99, the 100.3 was only a one time occurance.

Might try some little adjustments to jetting, thermostat, and timing advance (no detonation found at 36 degrees), to see if any improvements can be had. Eventually will do anther DynoJet test to see what I have RWHP. Again, thanks for the encouragement.
