Ok, i used to be a die hard Trickflow fanatic, being as i used to work at Summit Racing, and still have a friend that works for TrickFlow. He got me my Trackheat heads, trackheat intake, Stage II cam, 10:1 forged TFS pistons, pushrods etc... at a good price, and even ported everything as well, no charge.

well, due to financial problems, i have since sold my heads, intake, and cam, and now what im down to is a stock block, bored and honed .030 to a 306, TFS 10:1 Forged pistons, still have the stock crank and rods (resized and polished)

what i want is any proven H/C/I combo that will put me in the mid 12's on the motor, and 11's on the bottle (at max a 150 shot). im open to any suggestions. My suspension is still stock, and i will be getting slicks.
Thanks in advance

As long as you have the supporting stuff like exhaust and gears, ported stock heads an E303 cam and a cobra intake will give you what you are looking for (provided that the traction is there). You have a ton of options. Especially with 10:1. GT40 heads would work...it won't take much.

I'm in the 12's, and cheap too. I plan on porting my heads a little later for some added support.

Thats what im talkin about... to save up money to buy everything i had will take too much time in my opinion... i want to have that sucker driving by late summer... sold the stock heads, so aftermarket is what im aiming for. im just wondering if i get the same stuff i sold (all the trackheat stuff) if i would be in the 12's and 11's.. damn, id hope so

Your original motor combo you sold was an 11 sec car on motor with a driver and with the 150 shot, thats 10.50's if you can drive

Damn.. maybe ill be callin Trickflow back up... 11's sure sound nice

And as far as the driving goes id like to think i can.. with a half tank of gas, a B&M short shifter, K&N filter (in the stock box) and a flowmaster 3 chamber catback, i went 14.01. With some ice on the intake, and a good burnout, i went 13.98 the same night...

other than that, the car had no wieght reduction, no other mods.. from what ive seen, those are pretty decent times for my car.

You should stick with TFS TW heads since you have the TFS pistons. The valve reliefs in those pistons will only fit TWs.
