By the way, I can't recall ever seeing a heads/306 car trap in the 118 range. 114 yes, but 118, no.
My heads flow pretty decent for what is done to them. They have only been cleaned up a little bit, gasket matched an they have 2.00", 1.56" valves in them. They flow 248 on the intake at 0.600, and 210 on the exhaust at 0.600. Who cares who ported them.
I highly doubt my exhaust is holding me back that much. I'm not you, so I will not get a cutout. I don't like them. I don't like how they sound.
I really don't care how my setup runs right now, because it is going to be totally different in the spring.
For future reference, when replying to a thread, keep it on topic. Don't bash someone on their setup if they didn't ask for it. If I would have asked about my engine, or if I asked why I wasn't running 118 mph like you said I should be then bash away. But I didn't.
