I sent them an E-mail tonight and i'm waiting for a replay tomorrow. 400HP isnt what iam looking for. I was hoping for more like 430RWHP like GTP Stage 2 with cams.

I like the 126Mph too though thats why i was intrested in those heads. But then again u dont know whats the race weight at that time, and stall Converters helps too. I wont set my car for dragracing. It will be more for Race tracks. So i need the trapspeed to help me through the track and the straights.

No, i think it said 116 with only a Cam which is belivable. 126mph with heads and cam. 125.x with Heads and cam and 150Shot. I guess with NOS they couldnt hook up thats why the trapspeeed was lower than the heads and cam alone.

I'm sure someone here is running them. Sounds like a very good deal. I'm leaning toward the MORE heads. I've heard good things about them, and they're even cheaper. Just not as well known. www.moreperformanceinc.com

I emailed Speed about these a couple of weeks ago. They flow around 300cfm @ .600 and come with the 918 single springs I believe. Also, I copied this info off the web site. Take what you want out of it.

"We have gone 11.6 at 126.3 on Nittos with stock bottom end, stage 2 heads, SLP headers, Comp 224/228, stock 3.23 gears and Vig 3200. With 150 NOS dry shot, it put us at 10.88 @ 125.5 on Nittos. We have gone 11.71 @116.2 w/Comp 222/222 563/563 cam."

I personally will be on the waiting list when I get the money up for them. I also have heard that they put out over 400rwhp and the whole power curve is good, but I havent heard any track times besides those posted on the Speed Inc. web site.

With heads and cam and bolt'on's, the car in question went 11.6@116mph I was there.

On the sauce it went 10.xx on Nitto's as well.

Fullweight car too.

Brad it's that guy Chris from Palatine.
