10 sec. 318?

First, I wouldn't buy anything ported from Indy. Plus, you don't really need to port the LA-X heads to get the power required if done like Brian's set up.

Second, you could get in the 10's as far as an engine package using a 390 stroker set up for under 6K. Look at the magazine deal Brian did with that 410. The same basic package would get you really close for an HP output, especially in a 3000-3150# car. Build it and put a 75-100 shot on it and it would be a mid tens set up in a good chassis, high tens on engine. You could save a bunch of money over the mag build shopping right for valve train (rockers), intake, carb, ignition and exhaust components.

Have fun with it. My 2 cents.

I agree, there is no need shelling out 2400.00 for a set of heads, i know Brian sells his prepped RHSs for about 1300.00, & if i'm not mistaken, they flow around 270, you just can't beat that, i only paid 875.00 for mine in basic stock form & they flow 242, if you looked at my combo from my thread, i have a total of 5500.00 & change in my WHOLE car (includeing the car), i just clicked off 12.5s easy, & with alittle tinkering & tuneing i should be solidly in the 12.4s with a 12.3 now & then, & if i do get around to ever spraying it with 100/125 shot, i'll almost bet it runs 7.0s & very low 11s., my goal was 12.99, i'm already .5 faster, so my next goal is a 7.99 in the 1/8, i've run a best of 8.06, this car only has 5 passes on it, i see so many guys out there dumping all this crap into there cars & still going slower then they should be, THATS plain stupid in my book, its not rocket sience, there is nothing "worse" then looking cool at the track with all your fancy garbage & not running good times, i'd rather look so-so & have people go :shock:.
