Yee ha… finally ready to go racing

As can be seen, car was actually a hair slower to the 1/8 on this pass compared to the best last year. Mph up a hair, not much.
60 foot was off, tires I know are shot, but it went identical 1.50x on first pass tonight too.
Did pick up about 3 mph, that is the biggest positive of the evening, that, and didn’t hurt anything. Felt really strong on the back end, could tell this is a bigger head, zero wheezing . Surprised.
I should mention, my Eddie heads I had worked by a local guy when I had the 360 in the car.
This past offseason, I had the 418 shortblock done, fixed some issues with it, and the guy( very good Mopar shop) said whoever worked these heads really layed the short turn back.
So he did what he could with them to make them “ better” 2.05 intakes, some relief work, his comment was, with that short lift cam you have(565 gross lift) these will work well, but just know the low lift numbers are very good, but they are done at 550 lift.
So when I compare the results tonight, they were against a pretty darn good working lower lift head.
my takeaway from all this, these new heads I know flow well past 650 lift, I am not using that. But I had hoped for even more separation in the lower lift than 3 mph.
Now the dilemma is..if I chase this, do these Icon flattops have enough room to run a 650 lift roller….I don’t know, maybe somebody here does.
And as I street drive the car a lot, how much better on this motor will TTI 1 7/8 headers be than my 1 5/8 Doug’s… I don’t know, and that header is really my only option.
So..plenty of thoughts running through my head tonight
