funny you bring the head question up... we are actually running stock casting double hump heads :shock: yes you read correct double hump iron heads. and yes i know i should put some high dollar aluminum heads on it but there is no need to. you can still make crazy horsepwer numbers with stock heads...

Alright guy's I need some advice on what gears I should run for lowest et in my ride. the combo is as follows... 1973 vette 3350 lbs race weight 496 cu in. Canfield heads 311 cc. 4.2 cross section 4/7 swap cam .744, 278 int. .714 288 exh. 113 lsa 110 icl 10.25 comp. Team G with an 1150 dominator (wi...

11 flat, give or take a tenth.

I havent ordered mine yet, but I'm dead set on Purple Hornies! They are gonna be loud and cackle I hope.

Do you want me to have to rechrome my bumper? or carry them to the 1/8th mile?? [/quote]




That sounds good to me!!

Single digits rule! Am I hearing your car right in the video's, do you leave at an idle and just mash the piss out of her??

There is also the tuning issue with two carbs. It may seem to run ok, but one carb can be way off and the other picking up the slack. This can kill a lot of power off. I can't tune for crap, never have. So my tunnel ram set up is going to be tuned by the pro's on a dyno.

I'm no pro, but I think two tunnel ram specific 1050's will always out perform a single dominator on the right motor. From what I understand the wide lsa of nitrous cams like tunnel rams. This is strictly an opinion of some one who reads WAY to many magazine articles. There is a lot of nay sayers on...

Looking at it now you would never have guessed that it was so screwed up. That car is a lot of fun to watch leave the line. I hope mine is cool like that when it gets done. What is your total race weight after the changes?

Wow, sounds like you were lucky to save the car at all, but it led to some improvements. I knew you broke the crank after several years of service. Is there a 4340 in there now?

Hell no, I didnt know that. What the hell happened? That had to about make you puke, I could not imagine how emotional I would be if the vette got wrecked.

What did you do to take the weight off the car?

I dont know, but I have heard they were designed by HVH, who does r&d for Brodix dont they?

I remember when you made the switch. I was kinda keeping tabs on your progress on enginecombonation.com. The heads and converter made huge difference. I remember when you were trying to get past the 11.0x's hump. What else have you changed since then? That's a lot of et to drop in a short time! :thu...

Anyone on here ever use the Canfield heads? That's what's going on my 496 but very few people use them. Most people are opting for the AFR stuff these days. Canfield was what I could afford at the time and a builder I talk with regularly really likes them, so what are the local oppinions??
