![]() I ran the kit with the non-emissions cam and my first set of heads were bad and went a best of 12.6 @ 108mph.
With the newer style heads 2.02 x 1.60 and the AFM N-61 cam I have went 12.16 @ 113.5mph, I am only running 3:73's and the cam is ground for 4:30-4:56 gears so it has a lot left. Should go 11's since I just added the 30# injectors hoping to get to the track soon, with the 4:30's it should go mid 11's @ 116+. Do a search on Holley and you will see all the numerous replies I have done about the kit. Bottom line is it is worth the money in my opinion. What heads does your buddies kit have....Holley has had issues with the first design although they do not admit it.

![]() It is the later style according to him, the box says 99 so i dunno who to believe, but visually is there a difference?? The times you guys are giving me sound great, the car i'm getting has a 5 speed and 3.73s already, maybe the extra 1500 wouldnt be too bad. Thanks for your help guys, anyone else?

![]() Anyone had any oil consumption problems with the setup. I too, have been looking at getting the kit. I know of the problem with the old heads, but i was also told by a few people with the kit that it will eat oil even if installed perfectly.

![]() I just took my Holley heads off & they were burning oil like crazy. I read in an article that they have a design flaw just like Trickflow had back in the days.
