Unported head quickness?

I retired from the San Francisco Chronicle in 2004 and moved back to Little Rock, Arkansas where I went to high school and had grown up.
I miss the great Bay Area weather and the world-class drag strip at Sonoma, but not the traffic and smog checks every two years....
Nice to hear from you, Tony!!!:blob:

I think this will be a great addition to this thread.
11-1 340 .030. The cam is a solid bullet regrind from a hyd .508 mopar. duration is 252 I / 253 E @ .050, 281 I / 284 E with .516 lift.
Unported J heads with stock 1.88/1.60 tulip valves. Home grown 1 angle valve job. Stock retainers and keepers. 130 lbs seat pressure 290 open. Still has the 273 rockers on it. Victor 340 intake, working alternator and fan.
The car is my 1970 dodge dart weighing 3300lbs with me in it. 5.13 gear and a 18 spine a body 4-speed and a 28 x 9 inch tire. Going to put the 4.86 in it next. It still has 1 7/8 hooker headers on it (too big). Also adding 2 1/2 exhaust soon.

hi, how do you figure 1 7/8 are too big? I ran 1 3/4 , switched to 1 7/8 , picked up solid .2 and 2 mph faster over the smaller headers. the 1 7/8 do require a longer collector. later on , i went from 3 " dia collector to 3 1/2 " dia collector, gained . 05 and almost 1 mph. just food forthought

I do have the longer collectors. I am going to put 3 inch exhaust on it and see where its goes from there. It seems to me that it could have a little more low end but that could also be the single plane intake.

My favorite A body from my past...was built in late 80s and street raced and steadily improved from about '88 to '95 in Lincoln, Ne:
'67 Barracuda fastback, gutted interior with 2 lowback poly seats and a B&M Pro Stick, 3100 pounds with me in it. Ran best of 11.68 @115.62, most runs were 11.70s to 11.80s. Shifted 1-2 @4800, 2-3 @ 5200, through the traps @ 5500
Bottom end: standard bore '70 440 block, NOS cast 8.2:1 pistons, stock 440 standard rods, stock forged crank, 402 pan, hi volume oil pump, cloyes tru roller timing gear.
Top end: MP purple shaft .474 hemi grind cam, advanced 4 deg, rhoades lifters, new stock stamped rockers, new shafts, 906 heads w/ stock valves very minor bowl work and good valve job & cut .050, Holley Street Dominator intake gasket matched and cleaned up runners, stock 4781 Holley 850 dp, MSD billet distributor, MSD blaster coil, MSD 6al box, Accel plugs and wires, CPPA 2" underchassis headers, 3 1/2 flowmaster mufflers (forget which type).
Trans: 727 with B&M manual pack, deep pan, stock high-stall converter
Rear: A body 8 3/4 with 3.91 sure grip, cut and resplined C-body axles by Moser, 11 x 2 1/2 drum brakes
Front suspension: stock '73+ bbp front end, DC engine swap K-member, rebuilt manual steering box, /6 t bars, worn out shocks, 15 X 3 1/2 Centerline Auto-Drags, skinny radial street tires
Rear suspension: springs from a '72 Duster 340 (car was rusted beyond saving), rear clamps removed, 2 extra front clamps, Rancho long shocks, solid front bushing, no snubber, 9 X 28 MT slicks on 15 X 7 Centerline Auto-Drags.
This car was brutally simple and effective. Beat tons of "built" cars with a mostly stock drivetrain. I usually had less in my entire car than my opponents had into just their engine. Had people crawl in and under the car looking for a hidden nitrous bottle several times. Eventually towards the end I did put a NOS Cheater plate on the car, never went to the track with nitrous, but was beating well known high 10 cars by 2-3 car lengths

72 Dart Swinger,8.75 rear with 3.23 sure grip, 727 with cheetah reverse manual valvebody and stock converter, Offenhauser 360 degree intake from a junkyard, Holley 600 vacuum secondary, Dynomax long tube headers, all resting on and bolted to a COMPLETELY BONE STOCK '74 318 from a van. Picked the motor and tranny up -minus the low buck goodies- for $150 and set it in the car. The car ran 15.74 @86 mph shifting at 4500 rs (no clue on how loose the timing set is) at a very humid and hot Mopar Nats last year.
Future plans are to add a set of 714 swirl port heads ( junkyard picked for $60), freshen up the bottom end and a cam (any suggestions?)

Thanks for any advice!
YES! On the advice, start a thread on it instead of looking for it in the how to section. Go to the performance area or racers section.
To much chatter here! List what ya got!
Though I'd like to thank AARCUDA for a great one liner on post a time answer

Had a 318 72 Dart all that was changed was heads milled to bring up compression , Holley street dominator , 850 thermoquad off a 1974 440 Road runner with hooker headers ran a 14.4 @ 91 . 904 with 8 3/4 with 3.23 , G 60 14 Kelly Springfield tires . 106 octane Sunoco gas
77 Ramcharger 4x4 with 440 six pac block rods and crank , 12.5 TRW forged pistons cut down to 11.5 , 2" hooker headers and a Holley 850 dp ,Torker intake , not sure the cam as bought the motor off a bankrupt race shop for $800.00 , it was built for a super stock Barracuda . I needed an electric Vacuum pump for the brakes . Ran a 13.6 @ 104 with 3.55 and 33 inch tires . In low range nothing could keep up with it until 80 mph , the top end in low range .The off road tires sounded like a retarded St Bernard doing a burnout . Had the truck from 1977 - 1993 .

I do and absolutely so. The head is no longer stock in the port. Doing a valve job, stock or fancy is fine. Sometimes it is needed. Getting a little fancy or creative on the valve job is what it is. Once you go beyond the valve job, there's only the port.
Having work done under the valve, (the bowl area) costs extra money. The idea of the thread is to see how fast you can go without spending that extra money. I don't know how much you spent on that work because it is a variable cost from shop to shop and what exactly it entails can also vary, but that cost is a cost to be avoided. Hence the threads title.
Still, it is a good combo and I'm not knocking it.
