I'm missing why you asked that?? Just wondering, I know we've had our differences, I'm just missing something.

give me a min, I'll run you're setup thru. OH, what is your carb's cfm, I assume a 600? if you want me to enter the head data correct, what lift was that measured at, know any other data #s on the heads?

Because that is alot of flow from a 305 Head.



AFR 190's for example. Only 20 CFM better.

I see those are F-birds "Magical" 305 heads, Interesting.

Here is the link for the camcard for that Comp Cams grind

http://www.compcams.com/information/...umber=12-607-5

You can phone Comp Cams toll free and they will tell you more about it.

I have all the computer simulation programs here and could give you some wild hp result.
You should take these programs with a grain of salt thou.

You should expect to make around 405 to 425 gross (dyno hp)
horsepower with that combination of parts. Should produce 325 to 335 net horspower in the car. should be good for 12.8? @ 106+ mph quarter mile times on slicks.
Remember what I said about port matching the manifold to the heads. This is critical.

I see those are F-birds "Magical" 305 heads, Interesting.
On the weekend we were playing with a set of Brodix track1's
(prepareing them for a customers motor)
Well out of the box they were 255 cfm. After applying a lil' "magic"
we got them to 308 cfm.
Actually didn't require near as much work as these 305 heads.
But the work required and technique is basicly the same.
Yes these 305 heads can be improved to near "out of the box alumium head" flow, if someone is willing to put the work into it.
They also end up with a reasonable finished port volume,
which retaines the low end torque and throttle response of a smaller head. Some thing to consider.....
