Default CARTEK Heads and Cam package?

How good is the Cartek heads and cam package? 4x heads and 2x cam. I want a street and strip combo.

I can't argue with that...

But isn't that what a shop is supposed to do? Set up the car as a whole?

Sure my car is lighter then a stock WS6. Its roughly 3300lbs. But I still have stock brakes, heat, stock glass, radio and so on.

My suspention is off the shelf parts from BMR, Sphon, QA1 and Stealth. Nothing special. I setup most of the setting myself.

I run MT 28x10.5 15 ET Drags, same tire as a lot of others run. Though I do run what seems to be, by looking at others on this board, ridiculously low tire pressures lol

I never raced with a 2-step...

I have a factory Stock t-56 in the car.

And even with everything else, if the motor is crap, the car would not run well. My car made 507RWHP and ran 132mph in the 1/4 that seems about right to me.

Jsak,
I answered your PM.

As other's have said, I would call them up and talk to Max, he will set you up with exactly what you're looking for.

thank you so much. honestly, not trying to make jokes, but its always nice to see and know what others think of my driving.

aside for a small number of friends in the NJ area, I did not expect others to think of me as highly.

truly thanks for the props guys.
