Nice passes for being able to run on 87 gas. Lol I think if you changed a few thing it would really pick up.( more gear, some nitrous, bigger conv)

Looks good, want to sell your valve covers? Plate or fogger?

Na, I like the valve covers, they are heavy though. Wasn't someone on here selling a set?
I am using a perimeter plate.

Your heads are misleading. Guys hear W9 and start thinking of heads that flow a minimum of 350. Problem arrives when you are porting and having to allow for the pushrod on a 59 degree block.
Those dakotas are heavy no doubt. 11.25 is probably a decent number for that combo.
If I can help you with your nitrous problems let me know. That is what it needs.

Went and ran my 440 Dakota for the first time today. 59 Degree 4.125 bore/stroke, W9 heads worked by Ryan at SDSS. CR is only 9:1, was supposed to be a turbo motor, but was stationed in Italy so went away from that. Took it to Cecil today and went 11.25 at 118. 60 ft was 1.578, and 1.589 on the good runs. Running 26x10x16 slicks.

I did on the other site. But yea, Chris at Performance Injection Equipment built it and brought it to the track for me. Good builder to work with.

I would ditch the perimeter plate. Spray bars work much better.

Lower compression might want higher RPM to squeeze some cylinder pressure out of it. You have the head flow to support it
Looks like a good app for spray if your not gonna spool it or pull the heads for more CR.
Already have the system in there.

My thought exactly. That combo is the definition of mild and heavy. I think it works pretty good for not being ironed out yet.
