What to do over winter?
 
Now that racing is over for winter, I'm thinking what I should do over the winter for next year.
I would REALLY like another set of heads but I don't see that happening.
Here's what I'm thinking:
Buy a new solid lifter cam to better match my converter OR sell my NOS sniper system(new in box w/ warmer and purge kit) and put towards new heads if I can swing the rest of the cash I would need.

I could also keep the nitrous and buy the solid cam.
I need some advice!
For those of you that don't remember, my best E.T last year was 12.85@102mph and a best 60' time of 1.67

Would a solid cam wake my combo up a little bit more?

The cam isnt the problem so I dont see a solid cam helping much.

I see you have your nitrous kit and heads up for sale. I assume you are raising money for some sweet aluminum heads. If that is the case then you will be happy when the track opens up. ;)

I am installing a 331 stroker Winter. Hello 11's :D.......See ya later LS1's :cool:

Racing just now gets good down here in tx, of course we are still having high 80's temp's! which is unusual....But anyway I still put my car up on jackstand's;), and thats where it'll be until my aluminum flywheel is installed, cant wait until january. The aluminum heads sound good, I think the weight savings alone makes for a faster car......later

hey 82GT, why don't you bring your car down to CSA in berwick and put it on the dyno, maybe then you could have some before and after dyno numbers for those new heads i hope you get.

WOW...I never knew there was a dyno in Berwick!
Where is it at exactly? How much does it cost?
