Head Games!
Heads are heads, are they not?
No
The only mods I'm considering at this point are the possible upgrade to 2.02 intakes and whatever bowl grinding might accompany that. No major porting or milling, etc planned for now.
Just a rebuilt set of heads w/possibly 2.02 valves and what ever port work may be needed.
This alone says to me your car away from any decision or plan for n the engine. Your also considering 3 different heads.
So cam selection would come AFTER getting the heads done, correct? If I'm wrong, tell me. Oh, and ultimate goal is 12 sec/400HP street machine.
Cam selection should be thought of before hand and final selection is part of the package, not the final out come of the probable work to be done.
Capt, you have a lot of thinking ahead of you.
Is there a time slip you want to achieve?
What are your rear gears?
Tire size?
Trans?
Converter? Or 4 spd?
Chassis mods?
Actual car weight?
These are honest questions a bunch of companies will ask when ordering parts. Like a converter company will ask, tire size, cam size, engine size, compression ratio, at weight, Etc....
A 340 @ 10-1 with an Edelbrock headed top end (750 cfm/AG) regular headers and a 230/480/110 cam with a good distributor & carb tune will make 400 hp. This would use a minimum of a 2500 converter & 3.55 gears on 26 inch tires. The f you suspension is worked out to hook and the car is light enough, you can run in the 12’s.
More converter? Deeper into the 12’s.
More gear? Deeper into the 12’s.
Lighter car, deeper into the 12’s.
Check the 12 second thread in the racers section.
If the membership did the right thing, as in a detailed listing of the build and car, this will be a snap to do!
