i just put h.s. on my indy -1 setup, if i had of hed the time to wait i would have gotten t&d. if you shop around you can get as good of price on them, you just have to wait 2-3 weeks.

I called Nick at Compuflo a couple of weeks ago for a set of 1.6 T&D'S for my 440-1 Indy's. They didn't have any on stock so they made a set and had them sitting on my porch in one week. Nick said it would probably be 7-10 days. Great price too.


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I`m running rpm`s home ported by me and I`ve used em from day one w/these heads and that`s 5+ years. Good stuff.....no experience w/t&d stuff although I`ve heard great things.

What kind of spring pressures and RPM do you intend to run? I have both brands on different motors, two sets of Harland Sharps on Eddy RPM heads and one set of single shaft T&Ds on a set of Indy SR heads. Caution, the HS ratio are not as advertised, my 1.6 ratio check out at the retainers to be 1.64 and the 1.5 HS check out to be 1.54. My T&Ds on the SR heads where suppose to be 1.65 ratio and they are close, not dead nuts on all sixteen but close
