Index Racing (Engine Build and Tips/Tricks)

Thanks everyone for all the info!! Much appreciated :)

Okay so definitely sounds like I need to build 318 for faster and do some kind of throttle regulation. (either stop or adjustable cable) Maybe keep the 302 heads and do solid roller camshaft? I have a decent budget to work with. My only problem with putting aluminum heads on a 318 is that the 2.02 intake valve is a little big. Yes it can be done and has been done but it's overkill imo. If I go to J heads then compression drops but I do have a set with 1.88 intake valves.

@BVoelzke I saw deep written on your car. They allow deep staging for instant green when index racing? Deep stage honored for a pro tree for index races?
