70 dart 470 ci drag car build.

Over at rats house today for a bit, lashed my valves and double checked them, thanks rat helped explain figuring out tdc with a stop which in theory I should already know that lol but he explained it and now it makes sense on the pointer I got from Mancini it's pretty and from the cam being installed 2 degrees retarded, tdc on the pointer was around 1.5 degrees off and well we're going to send it.
Tried fitting my trickflow intake and of course I need to surface about .030 a side and might as well port match it as well, speaking of port matching the Hughes valley pan shown in the picture adds an additional .400 of csa at the pushrod pinch and with a deep blend I believe I can probably pull some more rpm.. previously peak power was around 5650 or so average.
Sorry kind of a lame picture, by the way the Hughes valley pan is a really nice piece, stainless steel.
