By the way, those heads are in need of a new home, very cheap, all they will need is a valve job, everything else is done.

My car with DOVE-C's has been a best so far of 6.201 @ 110.9mph. Its a 501, 14:1 cr, comp solid roller, victor intake and a 1050. Car weighs 3180 with me in it. I think with a cam change it will go faster. Motor has no low end and doesnt start really running until about a hundred foot out.
