Got the my motor all taken apart today. Found a NASTY blown head gasket between cylinders #3 and #4. little bit of detonation on cylinder #3, plugs are all fine. The heads dont seem to be quite flat though so Im going to have to take them in to be surfaced.

Im going to home port match the intake/heads tomrrow, and then slap it all back together with the new holley intake and 1.72rockers! Hopefully it will run good!

-On a side note, I drove the White LX that beat me last week. its COMPLETELY gutted, but it has a ported Gt40's a B-303 w/ 1.7's and a ported cobra intake, and MAN do I like the way that motor runs. It pulls HARD From 2000 all the way to the limiter.

It feels like a much wider powerband than my E-303. Could be just because the cars light, but it PULLS HARD to 6250!

PS. Ill be hitting Famoso Raceway friday w/ a bunch of friends to see how it all runs.
