the TFS TW heads are a step in the right direction. id get rid of the gt40 intake and f cam. get an anderson n41 and a holley systemax and that should do the trick.

You need a weight/power ratio of ~10lb/rwhp to drop the 1/4 mile ET below 12.0 which means you'd need 320rwhp in a 3200lb car (with driver). One side of the equation is to add more power and Clement's made some good suggestions. The other is to remove weight and it's pretty easy to drop 100lb off the car.

with tfs tw's, the n41 cam, holley intake and tuning with a high mileage stock shortblock that combo is capable of 11.50s@116 in a 3000lb raceweight car. as me how i know. so getting it to run 12.0s in a 3400lb raceweight ragtop shouldnt be to big of a deal.

12.0

thanks for a nice combo, im saving up to get a intake and cam, and misc stuff for top end rebuild, also thinking about sending heads out for porting and new valves and springs to match the cam I end up going with, also need a rollbar they wont let me on the track without it.

if you get them from total engine airflow you can get them with the correct springs and ferrea 6000 valves. if you are going to look at porting them then just order some 190cc Fast as Cast TWs. either way, take em down to 58cc.

12.0

Ported the gt-40 intake lower, gasket matched to match the ported e-7's dont know the flow numbers I picked up, but it seems to be getting more cfm through it and helped out my tune(it was running a little rich before) and it feels a little stronger up top rpms. I Gotta make or buy a roll bar to goto track, but its lossing its nice street manners lol. I need to do rear supention and fresh tires asap. cant launch above 2500rpms without spinning my half used street radials. gotta take it easy 1,2,and chirping 3rd. I need to get some hp to the ground and I think Il be around 13.0 maybe better it feels healthy. Still looking for heads but Money is always an issue for me lol.
