hey i ran very similar fuelie setup on my 89 gt i had 373's hooker super comp shorties, and obviously injection, and i ran 13.79 @ 101. i went with a set of edelbrock performer rpm heads with the 1.90 valves due to my stock bottom end. i picked up 43 hp over my majorly ported e7's. so my vote is edelbrock. or if you really have money burning a hole in your pocket afr 165's.

I haven't been to track yet but my dyno #'s and combo are in sig, wish I'd have gotten a bigger cam

Man those carb'd cars can be fast, what was your 60' times? Get some subframe connectors and get the hole shot down, also id move the power band up with that single plane edel intake, what is it the edel jr or something? gear it 4.10.

you can get the mph up with some good carb jetting, I think you should be trapping 104 easy with you setup you have now...

johnwb · 08-09-2007, 09:06 PM

Tires were 26x10"mt drag ets,do they ever hook hard,The front were locked up in the burnout and the car was sliding ahead! my 60 foot times were 1.78,1/8et was 8.69 at77.55.ready for more power now,heres a link to my last run.John runs 1368 videos from racing videos on webshots

i would do a heads and cam package. i read you have an e303 cam, but i have herd that those are not that great for power. if you would like to drop a little change, look at the trick flow street heat or track heat h/c packages. i know they usually run around 2K but i think they are well worth it. also get any basic bolt on you might not have. also maybe some 1.6 or 1.7 rockers or something of the sorts
