First time I met Mr Walton he was chasing around Essex Arena after a deal on Pete W's Hemi block. Lucky you didn't find him, eh? (PW!) We all collect parts then sell 'em on, part of the game innit! "My Cab's gonna have a 383 (sold on in bits), My cab's gonna have a 452 (sold on, in many, many expensive (for me

), parts), My cab's gona have a 358 ProCharger (Cab binned, engine in Oz!

)
That "11s 318 on Drugs" quest really put paid to everything

DON'T DO DRUGS!!!

They will ruin you, but are great fun on the way to poverty...............

Although Adam does give a good advert for never going near drugs......

Pete W they're really good heads, they ran 9.81 in our 2900ld roadrunner with a .620 flat tappet cam off the drugs, and ran 9.2 on a 125 shot, but the car ran 8.92 in the states, the cam let go damaging the block on the 9.2 run, we run a roller cam now and 440-1 heads and cant get it to run as sweet as that motor did

Pm me if you want the spec of the motor as it were with those heads

our motor was 493, kb ali block, eagle rotating assembly, 14.5-1 comp 620 cam, those heads, and a 1050 dommie, 2700ld car (2900ld with driver at full race weight), 4.56 gears, 32x14.5x15 slicks, and a trans brake it ran a best of 9.81 but when we were air shiftting it, it ran 9.9's every time, low 1.4 high 1.3 60ft times this was all no gas, we were creaping up on it with the gas and had run a few 9.4's, then the 9.2, the cam let go at 1000ft tho so we're sure it'd have been an 8 otherwise

What book are you reffering too?

If you want to build a motor with stacks of spark lead it ain't gonna happen runnin 12:1 comp , why would you want to anyhow? , the motor will want what it wants , unless you wanna bleed off a bunch of compression with a stonkin cam , kind of defeats the object.

The motor should be built with the correct ammount of quench , unless you wanna band aid the motor. (nitrous different kettle)

You could always run Q16 & colder plugs, still why bother.

Good luck Pete . hope you 'find yerself' in you're quest for the 10s

I agree

Disagree.... IMHO It depends on the rise & fall rate, agressiveness of cam grind, spring seat pressure.
