Hey Skyler,

You're correct abouth the head flowing well. As MikeLX mentioned, it's all on my site. If you go there, the time slip of this race is the one on the right.

Here is a quick recap of my major power mods:

Stock bottom, pistons, crank, rods, etc.
Stock iron heads, ported to 250cfm @ 0.500lift, stock valves
Comp XTreme cam (224/236, 0.502/0.520, 113+5 LSA)
1 5/8" Tri-Y headers, 2 1/2" duals with Flowmasters
3800 stall 10" billet converter
3.73 gears in stock rear
NX 2 stage, 75hp 1st stage @3000, 125hp 2nd stage @ 4700

Without the juice, I've run a best of 13.11 @ 107.15, and I believe I'll dip into the 12s soon enough. Those LT1s are a lot stronger than people think. My HP calculator tells me I'm, running 425hp NA at the crank and 580 on the juice.

I have a buddy with a 92LX 302 who also has a stock bottom, even a stock cam, but all the bolt ons and heads ported by the same guy that did mine, and he ran a best of 11.0 @ 122 on a 150 shot. Looks like head work is the common denominator between our cars.

Don't worry guys, I'm NOT a troll

What you see is what you get..........

By the way, here is what my car sounds like at idle: http://home.cfl.rr.com/cherrybomb/NewCam.wav
