Nice to see some times from your combo. I might be heading out to the track tonight or next friday so I might be able to get some times with the p heads on it. Keep practicing and you'll work em down.

I hope not. That would suck. I put on better heads, intake, and TB, so i'd BETTER be quicker because there's more POWER!
On wed. I even got a few 2.29 60's, and still got a 14.3, as opposed to before the mods when I got 2.3 60's and got a 14.5-14.6. However, I also ran twice w/ MT ET streets and got a 2.0 w/ a 14.5 (before the heads and intake) I didn't get much practice, so didn't push them to the limit, but w/ a 2sec 60', I still only got a 14.5.
Weird.
I think something is amiss....

didnt push them to the limit? what's the point then the key to good 60's is launching hard, also are you letting the car cool down at all inbetween runs?

Those "P" heads actually flow quite a bit better than stock. I would think with the mods you added you would shave at least 1/2 second off your old time and at least a 5 mph gain.

I only got in 3 runs that night, and pushed them a little more each run to see if they would spin ( I didn't know). It got rained out, so I never got to go all out.

Well, I did shave .4 off the time, but only gained 2-3 mph. Maybe it's still my 60's slowing my MPH, but I don't know, I just don't know... :damnit:

I try and take pics later. The only issue is the #7 plug. we took the header out and installed the plugs that way. Ceheck out post # 10 on the 1st page for the solution to the #7 problem.

Pics would be nice. Im just using stock headers for now and the only problem is the # 6 plug is hard to get too. Im sure with the bbk's it wouldnt be that much different.

#6 is pretty straightforward.
#7 is a biotch.
