Can you lighten your car up some? 2 tenths is a lot at your level. Probably another 60 horsepower.

---

I probably could by going w/glass doors and deck lid and lexan but it`s a street car first that I race every so often.

Where are the Tech Archive pics? I have some stuff that Dwayne Porter posted years ago on E heads, but don't know if they're the same pics.

tell me more about what you have ?
street car? 12 to 1? More would help power, but!! what do you run for gas?
what ratio rockers?
definately would help with more ratio.
what gear and RPM at the stripe?
what Dia headers and how long and also collectors? dia and length?

tuning helps a lot more than most people think.
its called volumetric efficiency.
when it all gets in its tuned lengths, its like a freight train at the big end

and yes a bit of weight out will always help.

Street car 12.1 comp. 50/50 mix of 91/110 trick. 1.5 harland sharp rockers,2" primary tube fenderwell headers and shift bet 7000-7200 average and trap about 6800-7000+. The freshen, better charging and a proper fuel system will get me there OR very close.

dom my buddies SBC is right about the same increments as yours in the 1/8th but he is going 134 and change in the back half and his best is an 82 so far on his new combo(on motor/drag radials)! I think it's gonna be a good challenge for ya and hope ya do it

---

After my 9.98 I went to Fontana after new valve springs and went a best there of 10.03@ 134+ but still had fuel issues. It will be a challenge and that`s what makes a competator like myself thrive. Thankxxx for the photos Bill..........man, he totally cleaned out the exhaust.... Do you have any port opening and other dimensions Bill?

You are right in the ball park for shift points and RPMs for that size motor. I shift at 7000-7200 and trap at 7500 with a 446 ( shows no signs of laying over)
more compression would help, but I dont recommed it if you will street it a lot. I would definately go with Harland sharp 1.6s, could net you around 25-30 HP
have you experimented with valve lash changes?
what carb? What manifold?
spacers?
2" is the right header, but I would imagine it is a bit too long being fenderwells. would want 32-33" long with 3.5 collector around 16-18 "

YOU are pretty close to maxed out there, but there is ALWAYS more to be found.
look at the suggestions and see what you could do.

I agree about a better header but not yet. I have tried different lash settings but not at the track. 1050 dommy w/an adapter and a 1/2" wood four hole spacer on top of a Victor intake w/a bit of plenum work.
