![]() Well, I just dropped off my TW heads to my machine shop for some work: They'll be cc'ing the chambers, then milling, installing new AFM Hi-Rev valve springs, freshen-up with a 3-angle valve job, heli-coiling all the exhaust bolt holes, etc. I'm hoping to drop the cc's to around 58 or so, thus yielding close to 10.0:1 compression.
I've got a new cam from Anderson too, an N-41 w/1.72 rr. And, a new intake: Trick Flow Track Heat which will be gasket matched to a Fel-Pro 1262 (to match the head ports). A new Accufab 75mm TB will be added as well. My goal is to make more power - hopefully enough to go 112-113 on the motor w/drag radials - maybe more! ![]() So, we'll see what happens. The heads should be done next week and then I can start to button everything up again. I'll be sending my JMS chip out for a re-burn as well. I'm still debating whether or not I should ditch my BBK equal-length headers for some long-tubes. Is there that much power to pick up there? Thoughts? Just wanted to give you guys an update of what's going on with my car. E

![]() Eric, if you do decide to switch to long tubes, I've got some brand new ones for sale. I'll make you a good deal on them.

![]() Here is your motivation to go with longtubes.
I guy I know has a 347 stroker with Victor jr heads 12 to 1 compression and a custom cam. and BBK equal length headers etc... He went 12.30 @108 mph (good huh....) After long tubes and better exhaust he went... 11.68 @116mph Go Long tubes ![]()

![]() Andy - I just sent you a PM.
Thanks, E Dark - I've heard good things about long tubes, especially with a setup like mine, but 8 mph is NUTS!!! ![]() E

![]() you should easily be able to run 112-113 once you get that 331 breathing over 5K. you'll luv the L.T's too! no more drone at 2000.
