If he has heads, then I don't see why he's not faster.

He might be running 12.80s, but at like 98mph. it seems that he has a lot of traction work done. Im using that 98mph as an example of course. He doesnt have to heads to hit 12.8s, plenty of guys have gone faster. ET is all about 60'.... MPH on the other hand..is about HP.

I don't understand why you say he doesn't have the heads to go 12.80's...

my 84 coupe went 12.87@105.2 with a 1.72 60' with a 93 motor, B303, FMS shorties, stealth intake and 650 DP, with 3.73's at full weight and stock suspension with an air bag in the right rear.

granted he is heavier, but still has twice the parts. If the tune is good, it should go mid 12's.

if he's a good driver, i could see him running 12.8's with the stock heads. he's got a few more goodies than i do.
