I still haven't gotten a chance to see your car in person.. I want to check it out at some point

Sweet! I never knew it cracked the head! Shitty! Hopefully you can stab it in the 9's!!!

I still don't know your combo, or if you told me I forgot, can you lay it out for me? If you know compression and all that too that'd be cool. PM if you don't want details to be publicized.

haha i'm not shy Omar..

Basics to the car is a 347 stock block stroker motor with the help of a 67mm turbo through a PG. It has a eagle crankshaft with eagle connecting rods and SRP pistons. I've heard the compression is somewhere around 9 and a half but can't say for sure. I've been wanting to do a compression test for quite awhile but haven't gotten around to it.. Comp cam (don't remember the specs), hyd roller lifters, comp cams roller rocker arms with a 1.6 ratio.. Edelbrock victor upper intake manifold, and some straight up unknown heads. That's about all that I can think of.

Could your heads be those Australian Pro1 knockoffs? They seem to be an Ok head for what they are. Wish you could remember your cam specs.

Any idea what it weighs? I want to compare our cars, my engine is a bit milder than yours but my car is under 2600lbs (at least before the cage, working on getting it back down to that).

The car weighs under 2600. We weighed it on 4 corner scales. The heads are Trick Flow. They are so old, they are from before they actually said Trick Flow on the outside. I can't remember the cam specs eithere, but IIRC it seemed pretty big for me. Steve Kovacs ordered it IIRC. He had some theory for overlap with a turbo, bla bla bla. I bet he would remember. He has a knack for remembering that sort of thing.
