Thats my luck...3 days too late.
Oh well.

Confirm me for one order. Kind of hard to believe. By the way I will take one of the Special Edition sets.

Russ-So Cal

I saw your title to this thread, Don, and thought you were comenting on how long it took to get TGO back up! TGO did get up quicker than your headers, though! Did you double the order?

Dyno Don

Yes I, did

langss

Please include me. Thank You.

InsaneIROC

Put me on the list

Js92RS

Don,

You do have a set earmarked for my new motor correct?

Jonathan...

Dyno Don

Yes, you are covered.

You are coverd too

BrandenCali

Hey Jonathan.. Awesome to see your now able to start building your car.. It's going to be sweet.. I seen your heads there with Don.. So smooth.. Good luck with everything..

Js92RS

Yeah I've been wanting to do this for a while now, it's not as radical as some of you guy's combo but I'm sure that I will be very happy w/ the results because the master builder is on the job. I am not aiming for the fastest time or anything like that, just something respectable and can keep up w/ you guys.

Later,
Jonathan...

SchwarzCamaroRS

add one more to the list don, coated headers and a y-pipe please sir!

Dyno Don

Here is what they look like:
(these are for installations with 'vette heads or Vortec)

Will do! (sorry for being so slow)

langss

Not to worry, they will go on the 84.

B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!!!!!!

Maybe I missed something, but whats the price on these bad boys?

SchwarzCamaroRS

just wondering, are AFR 190's externally or internally EGR plumbed? cause that will tell me what kind of headers i need...

Russ-So Cal

How did you get them? They are not plumbed for egr, race only heads; but they can be ordered drilled for internal egr, I think. It is one of the things that raises the price on AFR heads.

Dyno Don

Also what plug angle....AFR's..... or Corvette ....or straight?

SchwarzCamaroRS

id do normal straight plugs in it unless you think otherwise would be better... but i had planned on getting a pair soon... well unless someone could suggest something better...

Dyno Don

The Trick Flows are the best bang for the buck, unless you are trying to set an NHRA record
Vincent & Allen have them and are laying down good #s (they have the corvette plug angle).

SchwarzCamaroRS

lol, im sure this has been said before, but i want to be different. i already know what their setups can do. both the guys i knew in AZ that were running 406cid SBC used AFR 190's and they both said they would never use anything else, so i figured id try them on a 355cid but if everyone here likes the trickflows better, might as well go with what works

b's90cam

I personally don't have any experience with this but form what i've heard from others who do, trickflows are great out of the box and don't require much work for relatively cheap. Same for afr but they are not easy on the pocket. Trickflows flow just about as much as you'll ever need out of a 350 and afr's can go from a 350 to a 406 to a smallblock 427. Basically, if you just want a good 12 second 350, trickflows will more than do the trick. Afr's are heavy and expensive, but are great heads. Your choice.

cali92RS

The way i feel about it, is if you have the money and are willing to spend it, go with the AFRs. James' car ran 12.3x with untouched AFRs.

SchwarzCamaroRS

exactly.... the AFR's i want are only a few hundred more than the trickflows... In my book, Anything worth doing, is worth doing right... the first time. The way i see it, a 400rwhp capable sbc is a hard thing to do, even with the trickflow heads and still retain smog legality. Ill try it with the AFR's. Im sure its possible...

p.s. for everyone that thinks im nuts for building this motor seeing that i have a vert, dont worry, i plan on putting it in a hardtop... lol

1989GTATransAm

400RWHP is a lofty goal especially with a 700R4. My new years resolution was to see how close I can come to it. Good luck in your quest and lets see who comes the closest. Vincent is at the 373RWHP mark and with a few tweaks here and there I think he can make it. But he is running a World Class T5 so his route is a little easier.

SchwarzCamaroRS

im going to use a T56, not a 700R4 lol, not unless it was a Raptor 700, but with the cam ill probably use i need high rear end gears, and 3.73's and 700R4's dont make a very friendly combo... 130-140mph top speed and 3000+ rpm @ 80... i get 13mpg now driving it anywhere.

Russ-So Cal

Remember Vincent's Trickflows have only been worked on on the exhaust side. Intake side is stock and he has put down 370rwhp with it.
