SKYMAN , my heads are only '74 heads which have been ported & polished and 1.94/1.60 valves installed. I know they're not high dollar aftermarket but they were done over by a very good machine shop. I'm sure I'm better off with these than the stockers that had puny 1.78/1.50 valves.
How much E.T will I gain with slicks alone?
I'm sure my trap speed will increase with better 60' times.
My gears are 3:73's but later on they will be 4:30's
I didn't really mess with timing or anything like that when I was there.
Yeah, no slicks are what's killing my 60' and E.T times right now.
I'm going to remove the P/S and play with the tuning and see if I can't drop a few more tenths yet.
Slicks right now will destroy my 7.5 rearend(8.8 rear is also in future plans)
