Should make about 100rwhp more than the current 6.0, it will just hold it better and I can be a little less conservative on the tune. Turbo I was told will support 850fwhp. I thought about selling this turbo kit and building a twin setup.
I am not giving up until I run a 9.9x pass, hopefully I can do it with the current 6 speed. I figure it will take 700rwhp to make that happen. Plan on reducing quite a bit of weight, maybe get down to the 3100lb range.

I don't really know... They look fine when looking at them but a couple of them just aren't seating right and are leaking buy. They might be slightly bent. IDK Chain Tensioner messed up and the cams jumped timing by 1 tooth so I pretty sure that caused the damage.

Are the pistons flat top? I figure you are running a dish piston, and wouldn't think the valve would contact the head even being off a few teeth. I dunno... Hope you get it figured out man.

They are dish pistons. That is the thing I can see where the intake valves hit the pistons and made a little mark on them but the exhaust didn't and those are the ones that are leaking. So I don't really know what is causing them to leak because they don't look bent at all.

How many exhaust valves are not sealed properly?

Yes the leak down test verified it because all the leaking down was blowing out the exhaust header. lol From what I can tell on #7 cylinder only 1 valve is bad. I can see a little light when you shine a flash light thru the exhaust port. I don't know about #8, but it is also blowing out the header too, just not as much. So probably only one is not seating propperly on that cylinder. GHP is taking the head to their machine shop today so they can check everything out. I might have it back by this weekend but IDK... I'm tired of even racing the car so I pulled the cage out last night and sold it. I'll make some trips down the 1/8th and maybe a few 1/4 mile passes before they kick me off again. lol I just want to drive the car and be able to lean the seat back. That cage was a pain in the ***.

1/8 mile is one thing, but NHRA sanctioned tracks are a completely different ballgame bro!

Wasn't that 2010 Camaro running 10.2's with out a cage at Crandle? I took my cage out last night. If I put another one in it will be a weld in custom cage. I got really tired of driving my car with that cage in it. It sucks. I'm sure I'll be fine running at dale and crandle every now and then.

Anyways, yes Crandall is the new hype.
I just hate to tear up the floors to install a cage, hassle's of crawling around it, etc etc.

You have a newborn and a family that you obviously love(think about that/them).
You also know how to weld, so just get you a Wolfe 10 Point Moly cage already jig notched, throw some swing outs on it, and you will be good to go!

Yup, it is more so for safety precautions though.
