I think there is a good advantage in weight reduction going to the G3 over an RB, no?

Only draw back seems to be the cost. Do you know the approx cost for what each mill cost you?

The Wedge I am guessing is in the $7500 range, but the G3 with headers and ignition has to be closer to +$10k I was thinking....Love you car and combo by the way...Seems like it does double duty really well. Which combo did you prefer driving wise and did you have the GV unit with the RB?



short blocks cost what short blocks cost basically for any combo or brand.

my eagle heads were $422 and I ported them.

My apache heads not on car yet cost 1200

My EZ heads cost around 2k and I ported hem to MW port

My BB had $700 harlands. My gen 3 stock rockers

headers same cost really. Actually I bought my fenderwells for the BB for $700 and got $600 for them when I sold them because the price went up so much. paid $740 for the TTI's

ignition, same, when you add Dist, Coil and 6al to Hemi 6 controller

I could go on and on but it all costs the same when you figure it out except I think the hemi block is better, the stock heads are better and if you want to go boost it would be easier

I just sold the GV. I want to stop being so slow at drag week. My car is going on a diet and will be faster next year.

I doubt I lost all that much weight going from the BB to the hemi. 100lbs maybe

I think if I was a little more aggressive with the hemi it would be just as fast as my BB was. little more comp, a little more cam, etc


The Hemi's will tolerate a lot of compression on pump junk. I would have probably stayed with the GV unit and thrown more gear at the engine. How much did it weigh and what gears were you running?

If I built a 6.1 stroker, it would be 12:1 right out of the gate, and the ability to tune it with gasket thickness ....The rest, I would do like yours. I like it a lot. I can't think of a better NA combo than yours in an A body.

My 512 should be in the 9.60's this year on pump gas, so we have learned how to make one of those run....But I am not sure we could hook that on a small drag radial. It does not like like a lot of rpm..But a 1.32 60ft really gets the thing moving in a hurry.

Now my 605 is more built for mid 9's in street trim....I am debating going to a 315 radial in the rear over the M&T street cheaters I normally run...My biggest gripe...M&T does not make a matching radial front runner in 28" diameter..
