I hit the track last night with the new TEA Trick Flow heads and I was impressed.

First off it has been really hot here in Montgomery, Al but it is never too hot to go the track and run a new setup!

Below is my best pass of the night.

60ft –---- 1.54
330 ------4.580
1/8-------7.15
MPH------95.46
¼--------11.26
MPH-----119.41

The DA was around 2000ft. My race weight was ~3420.

Most of my passes are made with 5-7 gallons of gas.

For my old TEA heads to run 11.26 @ 119.47 the DA would have had to be about 800ft or better. Explained in another way, my old setup would have run about an 11.40 in the same weather conditions that the Trick Flow heads ran an 11.26 in. I feel sure that theTrick Flow heads lowered my ET by around .1- .15.

These heads are $2400 and are fully CNC ported. The heads have the valve angles changed to 13.5 degrees from the stock 15 degrees. In addition to better flow this also gives you better (more) piston to valve clearance. The spark plugs are angled a few degrees different from the stock position giving better flame propagation.
Below is a link to the full specs of the heads.

Not trying to flame but I would have expected more. I ran 11.05 @ 122.8 with a 1.56 a couple weeks ago in 99 degree heat and a DA of 3500 ft with my TEA 1.5s. Again, not knocking you but I hoped you would have picked up more. Ive been keeping an eye on your car for awhile and have always been impressed with your set up.

Thanks guys.

JaSSon - No flame taken. Your car runs great. I wish mine would run that good at a 3500ft DA.

Please tell me more about your setup and the 11.05 pass. I see the mods in your sig, what other mods do you have?


Thanks

John

JaSSon- You also have a FAST 90/90 setup, and JNorris does not. That might make the difference in times, and reason being why they're different.
