No, the tower looks funny in the first video, it's 11.96, the 175 shot was 11.41

Taller slicks, skinny front tires and QA-1's got that combo to go 11.6 to 11.7 on the 100 shot.

Why?

Nitrous likes compression, the Trickflows on a stock shortblock drop compression.

Those who try to use stock castings and have them ported by a reputable shop usually have pretty good results.

best results for the $$$$$ stock ported heads/intake with custom cam. Less than 2K. Will be in the 390's to 400 + RWHP with the supporting mods. I have 195 AFR's makeing good decent power, but like I said for the $$$$ Stock ported. Keep your compression high... you do not want to drop it... well at least not below stock, nitrous likes high compression as stated above

Advanced Induction (AI)
Lloyd Elliot (LE)
Port Pro's

have all been proven to make good ###

Thats cuz onephatz28 is a retard. He called me out in another thread with his 12.3 car. I told him I would take off my procharger and race him. You can guess what he did when I actually offered to race him.

Trick Flow aluminum LT1 cylinder heads are designed for supercharged, nitrous, and stroker applications. They feature 195cc intake ports, 75cc exhaust ports, and 64cc combustion chambers. They are also good for a 600 lift cam. I dont Know what the stock lt1 heads are good for I think it is up to a 550 lift cam

The nitrous comment in their description I take to mean as a thicker deck for use on built nitrous motors like motors sniffing as much HP in just spray as your whole motor makes.
Swapping to them to run nitrous on a stock shortblock would be foolish. As was already covered nitrous likes compression and even with a thin gasket those will drop compression below stock on a stock shortblock.

It's all relative. AFR gets my vote because they make the best head...for the most money.

You can put a .600 lift cam with simply stock heads, lift alone is not a measure of the size of the cam.

For the money, stock ported heads and a good custom cam is hard to beat, throw some nitrous on top of that and you have a budget build that'll threaten 10's with the proper set up

Sounds like an AFR ad....

Anyway, plenty will have opinions but for a stock motor if you slap on a set of heads that lower your compression than you need to plan accordingly around the rest of the combo. Just saying your going to do heads/cam and nitrous doesn't end tha show.
