Thread update.
Went back to the track (one that hooks) Sunday in great weather and ran some new bests for my car.
1.469 - 60'
4.451 - 330'
7.047 - 1/8
95.44 - MPH
Having trouble lowering the shift points on the 2-3 shift, so I hit the limiter a little bit on every pass.

I already have a cam. And Bobby's dyno numbers aren't quite what I wanted them to be. I was hoping he'd gain more from the exhaust mods

My last time out I had a best of 7.28. I have the intake off for porting and I am going to try a bigger carburetor. I will probably have to go to a 3600 converter to get in the 10s, but I want to see how close I can get first.
You are oh so close.

So bobby took the shorties off and put long tubes on? I also noticed how loud your car was in the video, did you take the exhaust off?

Damn jon, I didn't know you cut a 1.46 60' that's awesome! Those 3.90's are working now that you got that cam in there, it looks like you brake stalled it? If you can get that damn limiter to quit coming on for your 2-3 shift you got a 6.99 in the bag.

It's always loud going down the track. I don't know if you think that is my car camming at the lights but that's something in the pits. Mine is still as quiet as ever at idle.

Ive been following this thread for a while and im very interested in doing something . Do you know your compression with the thinner gasket? Im interested in getting 243s with lightweight valves and an LS6 cam along with a FAST combo

I'd like to bump mine up, but I really don't think it's going to happen with the cam I have on the stock pistons. I know the compression would wake it up some.
Wanted to say too Jon, I know you've helped me with my tuning and my car to get it semi-fast, I think it's pretty cool that you've done this much with so little. Very impressive to say the least. Time for a lightning rematch!!! LOL

The new AFR v.2 215's look really nice as do the TFS 215's. Honestly I'll probably just do what you did with the 243's and have them ported by that guy you were telling me about, forget his name now. Might do AI's or TEA's as I've seen the AI's have been worth a solid 40-50rwhp gain over the stock 241 heads.
