Installed heads... Chris and I installed my heads yesterday at work. They're AFR 205's. We also installed 42lbs injectors....and a base tune.
Car SCREAMS on the highway. Still debateing if I want to put a cam in this motor...or just wait till I build the other motor. ANyways....car runs like a champ.

Nah guys....I didn't go to the track...nor have I made it to the dyno. I'll probably post the numbers but...I want it tuned on spray....and I still haven't wired in my window switch....nor have I put on the burst panels.
I need pistons and rods now for the other motor I have....
as far as the track goes...ah....my stock clutch already spins when I powershift 4th so....not sure how worth it. I wanna go but....I don't wanna run 13.50 @ 90 mph due to a smokeing clutch.
We'll see. My time has been cut in half lately. Hard to find any extra time for anything, and i'm still getting home at 9 or later.

I know bro. I miss my last cars cam setup. I can't go subtle thou...
But, whatever money I put into this current motor thats in the car, is money waisted....or not waisted, just, well, it's kinda hard to say. If I can get my OTHER motor together in a month or two,...then I can wait. If not.....then maybe I will throw in a cam for the time being.
I do have the nitrous for my backup.

I have a feeling that the other motor will take a while.....they always do when you have something that's running.

Bro. I know that your car runs without issue, and makes power. no noises, no issues. Now, when I call about YOUR cam, or ask people about the T-rex(which we installed in Josh's Ta, without issue) why is it that everyone SAYS their will be piston to valve issues? I understand if you mill the heads but, i'm not.
Thats why I put the brakes on the cam right now,...cause thats what I am being told. "that there is no room for any error...(like a misshift I guess)....you would need to flycut the pistons".
I dunno. I'm being told one thing, yet I SEE another. I guess I could always get the cam.....then re-install it in the new motor but, I was thinking even more radical of a setup on the new motor.
I'm only pistons/rods/hardware away.
I really need a clutch thou...
