trick flow heads

[coupecop]

are the trick flow heads rpm better than my gt-40 cast iron heads and will they help in my quest of high 12's

 

[Modular2v]

YES.... in every way, shape and form! But if u are buying them new i suggest you look at the victor jrs or the afrs

 

[coupecop]

how much power will i get out of them than the gt-40s

 

[Modular2v]

every application is different but i would say 30 more hp

 

[Grn92LX]

You have MORE then enough for 12's now with what's in your signature.

i was going to say . . . . he does not need heads to run 12s

 

[Nopantz]

suspension is what you need my friend... get that power to the ground and you will see 12s

 

[5spd GT]

Realistically, you don't have enough to make 12's with out trying to impliment a drag style setup. You can do it with that power, but you got to plant it hard from the start.

What are your current times now? mph?

 

[stangjunkie]

no.. your HP seems low.... maybe its just me

His Horsepower and Torque numbers seem dead on for the parts he has listed in his signature. I have a Hot Rod magazine article in one of my article-compilation books that dyno tested every conceivable (well-matching) bolt-on on a 5.0 LX, which included aluminum GT-40 heads, Edelbrock Performer 5.0 intake, a complete Mac Exhaust setup (headers, catted H, catback), roller rockers, 70mm throttle body, Paxton Fuel Pressure Regulator, underdrive pullies, comp cam, etc, etc, etc. That car, with all the mods I listed and more, plus a custom tune, put out 297hp at the rear wheels. If he's at around 250hp at the rear wheels, with the parts he has listed, that's about right.

how hard do you all think i should lounch at becase at 2500 i got a 14 flat at 98 mph with street tires. and that smoking the tirers on first and second a little on 3rd.

Suspension is a friend in the drag racing scheme of things however i got to the mid 11's with out a drag racing suspension. I just threw more power at the car till it made 11's. I wonder what i could do with a drag racing set up.

 

[coupecop]

i already have bbk upperand lower controll arms and lowering springs plus subfram conectors.

The lowering springs won't give the weight transfer like drag springs would. Get as much weight on those back tires as possible

 

[coupecop]

where can i get some slickes that will fit the 10 hole rims that i have and what size.

 

[9 Deuce GT]

The lowering springs will hurt performance on the track. If you want to keep the springs, get some slicks and torque box reinforcement. You should be shooting for 1.8-1.9 60' times. Maybe some other guy's can answer this. Is that consistantly the best possible to shoot for with a stiffer lowering spring?

Check Jegs or Summit for the prices and availability of the slicks.
