It wasn't the fastest car down the 1/4. It wasn't set up for that. However, it did pull really hard in all gears.
I prefer CNC heads. If some one is porting a CNC head by hand after machining, there is a problem with the machining.
Good luck with your project, your goals are easily attainable. Do your home work for a few months on the forums and roll the dice, or pick a car you like and copy it to the best of your ability. Set up is very important; ABA383 is one of the best examples in this thread. As you can see, my old set up managed to run 10's in spite of the suspension being set up for street. This is because the engine was bad ***. There are lots of guys with less power than me quicker in the ¼, but for the most part not in MPH. My car was set up to be a street racer and that was where it was best.
Decide what kind of set up you want, build it, and enjoy it.

Its a good combo for what it is when it was built. I have a guy around here that used to have one of the fastest LT1s running a very similar set up 383, LPE heads, SR, etc. But since he put his car together alot of other companies have stepped up like AI and LE.
Probably more so in cam tech, but also outstanding ported stock castings to supply the cams needs.
get real......
It's a bert cam that CamMotion stole from him. Heads are as stated and it's gone a 12.994 @ 116.92mph w/ a 1.95 60' time.
Cam specs,internals, clutch, trans, rear etc was.
Personally I think Mdactons car is impressive for what it is, but what do I know
. The dyno numbers are naturally low since it is a big stalled auto, but the ET shows the the car is working. No matter how you slice it you can't really argue with 9s.
PS: I think the thread isn't locked yet since Tech is very short on active mods right now. This whole section is mostly under the radar anyway.

Although it doesn't matter what I've got, everyone is inferior to you and your 396 Lingenfelter Solid Roller, only runs 12's, luxury laden coupe. There is nothing I could say that you wouldn't try to disassemble with your parasitic attitude. So, how about you put up some good numbers or **** talk to someone you actually can beat. There are a few bolt on guy's who you could probably edge out on here.
If your setup is so much better what are you so damn slow?

Even if it's true you have such an 8000lb turd it makes no difference. The only other fool who would care about it is mdacton. You two could yank on each others gear ***** while sled pulling.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!

I hope all these super superior AI cars show up at the shootout to PROVE they are faster. LE has cars in EVERY CLASS again.
Guy one very important car you have seemed to forget about is Lloyd's old car. A guy named Beau owns it now. It's about 3800 lbs with driver and ran 6.90's in the 1/8th. Nobody remembers that though. And yes I know the motor let go at the shootout but the fact of the matter is that car was Lloyd's stuff...and was set up the right way and ran like a champ for a long time being driven hard. Not to mention Javier's z28...runs like 11.10's all day long with Lloyds stuff. There are some fast LE cars out there. From what I've noticed the guys who don't put down serious numbers with Lloyd's stuff don't typically have the right combo of parts.
I honestly believe alot of the AI guys are more about racing and want to get every last bit of HP and ET out of their cars so alot of their cars are set up for the strip. AI definitely has more prestige than Lloyd but Lloyd does great work. That's why he's always booked. Everytime I've been to his place he's got a rediculous amount of work. Big block heads, small block ford heads. He does it all.
I think Aleks pretty much nailed it by saying do research and get the right combonation of parts and you'll have a sweet ride. The difference in heads and cam between what Lloyd does and what AI does is not going to be a huge difference one way or another. I really don't think you can go wrong with either. Tuning also makes a huge difference but these dudes have neglected to mention that too. Lloyds old car dyno tuned at like 38x RWHP tuned by a local guy...then Bryan Herter (PCMforless.com) came down and dyno tuned the car and low and behold...430's rwhp. Tuning makes all the difference in the world.
