Car runs 11:0s with a best of 10:98 at 118 mph. Lazy on top end. Would like to see 10:60 out of car for now. Just a bracket car so no rules really apply. Edelbrock Torker intake, 1000cfm double pumper on e85, 727 with 8" conv. that flashes to 5100, 410 rear with 29.5 tire. Doing some internet research and kind of leaning toward Indy EZ or SR heads now. Thinking something that can be improved on at a later time if and when I want more hp. As we all know we always end up wanting to go faster!

It looks to me like you ought to save your money and work on the using the power you have. Maybe a better tune up. There are 3300 pound cars running 8.5 to compression 340's running 10.60's on 9inch tires in stock eliminator. Surely a 500 inch bb should run as quick. Work on your chassis and tune up save your money. Get the power to the ground.

I have exceeded the limits of my Stealth heads and trying to figure out what way to go next. My combo is a 500" stroked 440, 10.1 comp. Got a deal last year on a Bullet roller cam .668 lift 260 duration @.050. Engine is in a 68 Dart. Looking for any input on what head to go with or where to buy at. Or thoughts on porting my Stealth,they flow 250 at .600 lift now. Two valve guides are broke now, makes me a little nervous about them now. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
The cheapest thing to do would be to port, and fix the heads, you have , 250cfm is about the same as a stage 2 ported 906 head.
Otherwise if you want to buy a better head step up , but be warned you may have to buy a new intake , rockers as noted , if your change is to a roller from a flat tappet that is going to add to the cost also.

[/quote} The part you forgot to include on your post about them stockers on 9 inch tires running as fast as they do is "They open the doors of those cars and stuff it full of ten thousand dollar parts before starting to build those cars" Been there done that, bracket racing is way cheaper and easier to make a car run like those cars do OP, have fun
you mean, you build high dollar 500 inch motors with cnc ported heads high dollar cranks , rods and pistons, roller cams and its cheaper?? also you pay more for big tires, chassis parts. I think you're bit off base. I seen more money spent on bracket cars. there are the faster newer stockers, are expensive, true. older cars not close.
