the only mods i have done to the car is what you see in the sig! It was my first time at the track with the car and the car went 13.04 @110mph with a 2.3 60ft haha(i could not keep from blowing the tires off). I think the car has ALOT of potential, especially after gears and the bottle!

All you need is a nice set of MT slicks on the back to cut that 60' down, which should easily put you in the 12's. Other than that looks good. Keep us posted with updates. Also did you try to lower the tire pressure?

no they were professionally done... the heads have about 600$ worth of work put into them but i would not dare pay that much for a fomoco head

Click to expand...
and the 69 head is the best ford production head made with the exception of the gt40p head and the only difference is the spark plug location

I have stock untouched 69 351 heads. The best so far on motor is 12.61@107 with a C6. You can see my combo in my sig. It's pretty much a stock 69 351W I have 9:5:1 compression. My dad has the same combo as me but a Port O Sonic single plane intake 10:7:1 compression and a bigger cam. My dad has them on his 351 ported and bigger valve and he goes 11.50's@117-118 with a 4 speed. My car is deadly bracket car for being my street car.
