wheels or heads for et gains???
wheels or heads for et gains??? i am getting ready to spend some more hard earned money on the car and was looking for track results from a set of ported heads(tsp,tea,ect..). all the post are dyno #'s and usually involve a cam swap as well.i have seen a few post claiming 2 or 3 tenths from drag wheels and tires. is this true??? i have a $2000 budget and want to make it worth my while.if i got heads it would take all the cash, but wheels and tires would let me do other stuff as well. i would like to be able to run 11.5x's in normal air.any opinions or actual track results appreciated
stock wheels with mt dr's.i have been told that going to skinnys and a lighter 15' wheel is worth roughly 2 or 3 tenths.what i really want to know is how much a set of decent heads would knock off my et.everybody always post dyno #'s, i want track results(et or mph gained).the sponsers claim the "we usually see 50+ at the wheels",but i'm not buying that on my car

And you cant drop your 60' down to a mid 1.5X with your stall size and a pair of MT DR out back?? If you can get your 60' in that range the 11.5 might be yours all ready.

I think you might want to work on your 60's problem. You should be mid to low 1.5X easy with a 4400 stall and some MT DR's.
If you can drop .1 or more off your 60', that should be close to your mid 11 sec pass (assuming you are 11.9 now) with nothing but some suspension work.
