    I'll let you know in a few months :D I'm dropping it in on Saturday.

    I'm hoping for 375 at the crank, but that could be optimistic.

    im no pro but id think thats very possible....i've seen people with similar combos put 325 to the wheel...so 375 at the fly is definately attainable...

    Yeah, I'm hoping...I put in a lot of time on the heads - the valves have been back cut, hand lapped, and they've had a professional port job. It may be possible to get up to 400 HP at the crank, but I'll be trhilled with 375 :D

    Your car keeps looking more and more like Rons car, even down to the motor now. LOL Our cars should be a close race.

    Nice engine guys. Equal lengths do make it harder to change spark plugs. I have also looked at many foxes with them. There frame rails were rotted out. I have read and heard and talked to guys that said the heat is too much for the metal there.

    Rons best is a 13.3, and he's got nasty compression, his motor has gone 13.1 in Ashers car. Hopefully the guy thats tuning your car will be able to get it better than Ron got.
