Default New best from Stage 2 heads!

Long story short,

Wanted to see how the new found 428rwhp/389rwtq would do at the track today.

Weather was not too great(30.05 baro, temp 57, humidity 100 percent) ...rain was closing in, I only got one run a piece and then the rain came. The line sucked since they were trying to get it dry...either way here's the timeslip.

60-1.64
1/8-7.396
mph-94.87
1000-9.619
1/4-11.477
mph-121.78

I short shifted a gear and think it's got a little more left in her with a better launch

Now Dance fluffy DANCE! <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

I realize that one run isn't much, but what do you think you gained in terms of ET or MPH?

BTW, nice time slip. <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Ragtop, usually in these conditons my Et and mph would be around 11.8 at 117mph with a 1.64 60 foot time. Looks like around a 4 tenth and 4mph gain!

I know this thing has alot more in it with better conditions! Still I'm happy with the 11.4 at 121mph though.

Smoke, just curious as to how you got the extra power? Did those heads give you almost 50 rwhp? <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

Last time I read you had 385ish. Did I miss something??? Fill me in <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

The heads were ported by a guy in Houston named Shandy Price (EMT racing) Talking with him he really seems to know his stuff about heads and gave me a really good deal on them. If you want any more info on the heads just shoot me an email.

Nineball, with the weather as crappy as it was I just can't wait for a good night with traction! <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

Damien I added a set of ported heads last week...here's the post I made about it.
