We went 10.73 the other week with 3.91 gears and mufflers and a .560 lift cam and IRON heads and 10.7:1.....Strokers don't seem to care much...Not sure what it weighs, probably 3500 with me in it. Wait till we get the new Indy fully ported 325's we just scored put on it!

I prefer the 440Source 512 kits with the girdle and Indy heads. I know nothing about the Trick flows, but the Indy heads from the EZ1 on up to the 440-1's will hit 10's no problem. The more you spend here, the faster it goes...If I had it to do over on my race car, I would have probably gone to the B1 heads had I known how well those flowed. They seem to be one of the best "bracket" car heads out there and a step up from the Indy 440-1's.

Intake, again we like an Indy 4150 single plane for street, and same thing in 4500 for race.

Carbs, we like the cheap out of the box Proform 1050 or go all out and get a Thumper carb...



I will go one step further since someone mentioned e-body's are heavy as a tank....which is not totally true by the way, But lets say you do want to go 10.0 the easy route..then switch from the 400/512 and do a 440/543 from 440Source...Torque is king in getting a car moving. Put a good set of heads on it as mentioned above and 10.7:1 compression, and you should be in the 9's on pump gas with a 4150 carb and an Indy single plane...
