    WOW, you ran 11.40 on a factory head 302? I notice the 12.75:1 and mechanical roller, may I ask how did you get that compression and what the lift/duration was on that cam? This is NOT a doubting smart ass, I believe you just want to know what it requires to do that, also what gears were you running and what trans/stall? Thanks

    Let me see if I can remember the specs. Block was a seriously decked Mexican. Speed Pro Soap Bar forged pistons. Carrilo rods. Cast crank. Heads were small chambered 67 or 68 GT's. Big valves.... Comp did the cam @ .50 it was 260-270 ish...700 lift. JPT in Michigan did the C-4 with 5500 converter. Currie 9" with 4:11's.

    Ohhhhh, when you said OEM heads I was thinking something else entirely, and decking helps explain that compression with pistons, I take it your missing her? can't blame you

    Thanks guys...I e-mailed Jimmy. I reluctantly sold the car to pursue another hobby. I no longer live in Washinton state. My wife and I moved to Nashville and my other hobby has been fun. I gave up cars for guitars and now I have the high octane itch again.
