why go to the expense of a solid roller cam and run an ootb head?

My goal was to run low to mid tens with an all new car, motor combo. I also didn't know what the car was going to weigh when I was finished with it. I had thought the car would weigh about 300lbs less than it does, it weighs 3380 with me in it. While I removed a lot of weight, I also added a lot of steel with a 14pt cage which is unnecessary for the class, but gives me some peace of mind for it's extra protection.

Back to the heads, I didn't want to overshoot my goal and wind up in the 9s, so I tried the combo with OOTB ports to see where I was at. Turns out the ported heads would have probably got me right down into the 10.0s

This is definitely a low rpm package with the OOTB heads I shift at 5500 and go through the traps at 6200. I'm running 3.73 gears and 29.5" slicks.

No regrets though. I've been having a lot of fun with the car as it is. Hopping into a 10 second car after being out of the sport for 25 years was definitely a rush
