anyone in the 12's w/ vortecs???
I might have stumbled on a free set of vortec heads, i just have to verify that they're being thrown out first. anyway, my goal is to be in the 12's when i get my tpi up and running. so is anyone there w/ these heads?? if so, what cam and what runner style are you running??
thanks

Check the aftermarket product review board, there's a huge thread about a guy with those heads and the scoggin dickey intake. He's running 12's.
My dad plans on using them with a ZZ4 cam and SLP 1 3/4" headers. I dunno what he'll run but it should be low 13's at least.

Ok, I'll help you back up there 
. I've got a complete 350 just sitting around gathering dust right now, but won't have the time to do anything with it for another month or two. I may be looking into building it up then. I'd just rather stick with a 350 instead of a stroker for a few reasons. Number one is gas mileage. My car is driven every day, so that is a major concern. Number two is simplicity. It's a 350 now, so there can't be anything easier than leaving it a 350. Kind of waiting to see what kinds of results people have with TPI and Vortec/Fastburn heads right now.

Hey Guys,
I'm the guy with the vortec TPI 383 (and the never ending thread that you're talking about). I'm still convinced that a vortec head TPI 350 with either the LPE 74211 cam, or maybe even the the GMPP ZZ3/4 cam, is a very low 13 or high 12 second setup. I was intially going to go that way until I decided to do the 383. I see no reason why a vortec 350 shouldn't go 12s.
Later, Mike.....
