Chevy 193 TBI cylinder heads, TBI Mission Impossible? 9 sec 1/4 with swirl port heads

Okay so I tried to make a post here last night and I totally messed it up like unbelievably. I'm going to try again and let's hope for the best.

I was on YouTube last weekend and I came across a man who is doing some amazing work on the worst set of heads probably in modern history. THE 193 SWIRLEYS!!!! Hummm two things that don't belong in the same sentence will be 193 heads and a 9 second quarter mile UNLESS we're talking about it going down a mineshaft...

If the title alone doesn't get your attention then you better check to see if you're still breathing... Lol

This is the 1st episode and I think he's up to #14. Enjoy

Re: ...

I am on the some people deserve an apology side. I have made decent power out of even stock swirl ports. That was also using TBI and nearly 20 years ago at that on freshened up high mileage junkyard bottom ends.

15s in the 1/8, lol. A stock GM short bus could run quicker than a 15 in the 1/8 with a stock TBI 350.
