I am building my forged 347 as we speak, but I dont have the $$$ for some good heads so I am going to run 243 castings till next year. What cams/setups you fast guys running? Car will have quite a bit of weight out, 4.10's and a TH-350 with 4500 stall.
Thanks

Nobody? I am trying to see what cams you are all using? I have been told by a few people to get a custom cam and not a of the shelf cam since I have a forged 347.I was planning on a T-rex but I dunno???

Thanks!

What do you shift at and what is it turning through the traps? Still stock rod bolts correct?

243 castings are a good head, there's probably more 10 second cars with those heads then there is with aftermarket heads right now I'd bet.

whats wrong with the GTP stage 2 heads you have listed in your sig?

a98ws6

iTrader: (48)

Sold them to help pay for this new motor. They were on the old motor that blew up!

ah that sucks, those would be bad *** for the new motor. some of those $899 TSP headsd would work good too, i'm putting a set on my new forged shortblock

SMOKIN01TA

the older ones left alot on the table anyway in comparison to the newer heads

a98ws6

iTrader: (48)

Yep they were the OLD GTP heads. Probably 5 years ago! Id like to make the power I had or more with just a good shortblock a big cam and stock heads. I think it can be done???

I went 11.7's @ 117 when I had the stock motor with the shitty casting stock heads from '99. That was at about 3500 lb raceweight, and on a 100 wet shot it went 10.49 @ 129 with that same setup and it was just a little 228 comp cam.

11.5's here. Very mild mannered 230/236 cam, pretty much fullweight. Drive to the track with slicks in the car, swap em at the track, and drive home.

I could say 11.30/40 if my dang 60' would be lower.
