Default Cant decide, want 11s

Mods so far and in the works at the moment
Hooker Long Tubes
SLP Loud Mouth
MTI Cold Air Intake
Vigi 3200 stall
BMR Sub Frames
Tubular Panhard Bar and LCAs
GW Track Link Torque Arm
HAL QA1s up front with Drag Springs
HAL QA1s in back w/ stock 93s

I'm gunning for a 12 sec bolt on LT1 on tires, dont think that will be hard, car ran 8.5s in the 1/8 with the stall, cat back and cold air on 17s on all four with Kuhmos. Here is my dilema, I have a set of MTI LT1 Heads, full worked, ported intake, Crane Gold Rockers, all sitting here, heads just need a valve job and some new seals. So if I wanted to go h/c, I'm not that far away far as parts go. What my break down is, it would be so easy to just spray it in to the 11s, should I spray it and save the heads and cam for later, dont know cant make my mind up,

I have to agree with Mike. Get that valve job done, and then throw those heads on there. I'll assume you plan on running a different cam, other than the stock one.

Nitrous is the icing on the cake. Get that car running good without it first.

you know what I think, screw the spray bro, drop them heads on their and throw either one of those great cams and do your thing...but man I'm an all engine guy you know that, nothing wrong with spray, I don't care if someone sprays, turbos or supercharges, boost is boost and it's awesome...I just like all engine...

Yeah do that h/c first. If you need more power you can always spray later but you will have a good all motor base.

It is cool to spray, but your not going to have that power driving around town all the time. Thats what makes me hate spray. Now FI on the other hand..........

They dont go on till next week, the front you can lower, the backs I dont believe you can. The couple cars I rode in rode fine to me, my judgement may not be the best because I still have stock decarbons that are toast. But i rode in one with lowering springs and it felt fine

Next on my list, after a dual friction clutch setup is the springs and shocks, I like the price of the KYBs that have 8 stage adjustable, HALs are damned expensive, hear they are nice though. Was wondering how the springs and shocks ride on the street myself.

Neil, buddy, pal, N/A has a certian amount of respect but come on. If you can only pick H/C or Dope Like they say pill it till you kill it. Or just wait and drop the H/C in and dope on all at once., I strive to be as fast as Bizzznatch350 !!!!
