I'm gonna say mid 12's at best if you can hook and launch hard. Those cylinder heads are WAAAAY too big considering motor size and cam choice. I really think they're gonna hurt more than help.

I agree that the heads are Way too big. You are gonna hafta spin a 350 to the moon to utilise those heads.

Actually you'd probably be best with a 180cc head with that setup. I've never been to the track with my car but I'm guessing 12.50's give or take a few.

I think the best for those heads would be a 400ci motor with some decent compression and a huge cam. I can't stress enough how bad I think those heads are on such a mild motor. They are seriously going to kill your power more than you'd like to believe.

ok whent to the track last night to find out, it was 45 outside so the 60 ft sucked with the street tires, but here are the times 3 passes 2.2 60 ft 8.2 in the 1/8 at 93 mph ,2nd pass 2.3 60 8.4 at 94 and the best pass was a 8.0 with 2.0 60 ft at 93 mph im very happy with these times cause the mph is very high,if it hooked up all the way i think high 11s is possiable

Exactly how bad was your traction? Did you have to let out of the throttle any? 8.0 in the 1/8th is equal to about 12.50 but a 2.0 60 ft is equal to like a 14.10.
