440 power gains/ aluminum head advantages?

Addressing the 2.0 60’ time……
Did anyone happen to video the runs?
I’m asking if it can be confirmed it’s not spinning.
If it’s dead hooking, and the converter flashes anywhere close to 3500…….. a 2.0 is really bad for that basic combo of parts.

As for the timing……
Everyone has their own way of doing things, and that’s fine.
Personally, I’d have no problems running the timing locked out, as long as it’s not pinging and it doesn’t create any hot start problems.
Has anyone confirmed the timing mark is correct?

The 160 psi sounds about right to me.

Does the “3500” converter actually stall close to that?

Tell us about the heads…….
What are they and what’s been done to them?

If you can’t find anything fairly obvious, I guess making sure the cam is at least “close” to where it should be is a logical step.
I’ve seen and heard of people finding strange goings on under the timing cover(gears mismarked, etc).

Exactly what is the cam?(brand, specs, etc).
i've got a video i'll have to look for it again but it was not spinning. my converter that run flashed to around 2,800rpm. the heads are mismatched one a 906 head and another is a later head. both similar combustion chamber size. nothing done to them besides new seats and valves. the cam is an isky .505 mega race cam hydraulic flat tappet. i agree 2.0 is very slow with my combo and ive chased my tail looking
for an answer. i'm thinking about just pulling the front end apart and checking cam degree, as well as pulling the intake and making sure i've still got cam lobes ha. it hates anything but being locked out. even if i only get it to advance 6 degrees. it's been one of the harder engines to get to run right that i've messed with for sure
