<img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I have 14* heads and have 66's myself will see how close i can get to those numbers first will try on the old motor then step it up to the new motor when comfy though. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Boost does overcome alot of things though. How hard is he going to push the motor? just curious

Well again I'm hearing this 2nd hand but he said he'd like to run 17PSI on the motor with only a 100 octane.

He figures he can run 8.90's on BFG's. He's completely traction limited with the big boost. I don't think he has any intention on running slicks at all.

I don't know what degree heads he's using. Hell this is the first time I heard of Brodix heads. LOL...... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I'll see what I can find out.

Ok your were right on!

23 degree heads for sure.

He tried a bunch of runs with 17PSI and the DR's and almost lost it a bunch of times. The car is all over the place with that much boost and no traction. He swears he's gonna keep trying to get into the 8's on DR's. I think he'll stop once he tags a wall. <img border="0" alt="[kaboom]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" />

I was going to have them convetered over but I decided to sit on them and put them on a dart block. The lt1 has a set of afr comp 220's that will hold over till the other motor is built.

I wanted to run the 14* heads on the lt1 and was going to do the conversion (drill holes, block water passages etc..) but then having to do pistons and other little thing it really did not make sence since i was planning a new motor anyway and did not want to stick with the lt1.

Jimmy
The heads are Pro action heads ports are going to be very large using a hogan intake again for the new motor as well. (i am hooked on them now lol)

(Im asking this thinking you have an lt1 in the white camaro. Unless i have the wrong person.)
