The roundy rounders aren't bad. And most invest a ton of hard work to race every weekend. Most are really good guys. Now the LSR guys... well....... "You drag racers don't know about having to run wide open for 3-5 miles!" Yawn........ Then I remind yes I build twin and single turbo drag m...

RHS makes a good budget head.
I would get a custom cam built for the app.

How much HP?
What are the plugs gaps?

Some of the roundy round guys ain't just right. They will mill block, shave and trim parts to get off every 1/4 ounce of weight. Only to toss in a 430 LBS driver....

Two-three step?
Transbrake? or not?
Throttle position staged?
Was the car dead hooking?

Why not take up Eagle on their offer BUT do an internally balanced deal and get a new damper (good one not P/P) and fly or flex.
