Hey thanks mate ! I haven't been to Queensland yet. im on the other side of the country

Im not sure what to do with the car next, would love to get it in the low 11's. Either heads and cam, or maybe a procharger, unsure how the old motor will take it but. May do a compression test in the off season, see where its at. I wouldn't mind hearing from you guys who bracket race with Prochargers, and if you find them consistent enough ?

Check the classifieds for ETP heads. There's a fella sellin' some 215 complete
heads that flow like mad. I think he wants 1900 complete plus cometic gasket
and they only have an hour of dyno time on them. They're like 3000 new.
Those or an equivalent head with a 230/234 cam will easily drop you a full
second with reliability and streetability.

Hey thanks for the heads up mate !

One great thing about my car, is its no longer driven on the street, so i can go crazy with it. Trouble is having the budget, like all things. I would certainly need heads and cam, i was thinking along the same cam specs you suggested with a ls2 casting head.

Nicely done! +1 on that detailed slip!!

About the pro charger and being consistent, I'm no bracket racer by any means, but back when I had a 98 Z28 with a D1 strapped to it, it was kind of all over the place. It was on street tires however, so I'm sure that contributed to the inconsistency a good bit, lol.
