Pretty quick for a car that weighs 3850
Hi guys, cutting a long story short, my lovely wife bought me a new set of Edelbrock heads for Christmas. Eklers had a deal going on at the time that just simply couldn't be passed up. I gave the heads to an engine builder friend of mine to clean up and tweek where needed. We fitted them last week and I went for a couple of shake down passes last night at a local street meet. My previous PB with the iron 690's was 11.56 @ 117.30 with a 60' of 1.63 sec in similar conditions as last night.
The first pass last night was 11.41 @ 118.56mph 1.63 sec 60', second pass was 11.34 @ 119.06mph 1.62 sec 60'.
I have also taken approx 100lb out of the car and switched to a manual shift valve body but didn't expect 119mph
