I will complete this post with pictures later, but to bring everyone up to date we finally made some passes. Most notable changes was Brett Miller's CNC intake ports and hand ported exhaust port, a new cam speced by Brett and a happy valvetrain. Again, I can't say enough about how much knowledge Brett has with the W8/W9 stuff. I know there was HP gained in a few other areas, but it was small compared to the heads and cam.
Previous best (with SDSS special assembly) was 5.85/116 1/8th mile.
New best (with my amature build skills) 5.50/125 1/8th mile.
And, BTW this was crossing the scales at 2878# race weight. New best was this past Saturday with -495' DA mineshaft conditions. The even better news is that the Racepak data shows room for improvement.
The rest of the pictures, a few videos and time slips to follow.
I picked up over 100hp when we changed and looks like you have too Brian well done.

The attention to detail you showed me as you put this engine together was above most "PRO" engine builders I am so happy it worked out.
You should see the car, very very nice  . Congrats Brian, you've got it flyin for sure!

in my experiences most times stepping back and having confidence in your own abilities pays off and saves time, money and grief. when you're your own customer you can't lose. the guy from SDSS should call and offer a congrats; i'm 100% certain he's keeping a close eye on this thread too! people say he doesn't post/lurk on the board anymore, but we know he does it without signing in. maybe he should call YOU for advice! good work.

Not going to hold my breath and not going to give out free info. that an engine builder should already know.
I'm just glad it is preforming well (actually well above my expectations). I was just hoping to go 5.80 in the heat.....so 5.65 or so in mineshaft air would have done. I want to do some index racing next year. PRO 5.80 series participants get ready for a Mopar to do some damage.

I need to start messing with Melvin now 
You are heavier and smaller cubes and faster than him
Good job Brian and Brett
I would love to see Melvins heads get this treatment. I won't talk for Brett, but I am sure he could use the "bigger" version of this port like Brett is doing in the W9 thread.
I think Melvin and I are at about the same weight, but I am a little bit heavier for now.
