Keith,

Thanks for your input. I am running Edelbrock heads and yes they have been ported and polished a little. My current cam is a 571 lift 236 dur solid lifter cam. Alum McLeod flywheel about 18 pounds. I am running 3.50 gears with a close ratio toploader. 27 x 10 slicks. I also have an alum medium riser intake w/ 750 Speed Demon Carb. Pistons are Speed Pro flat tops w/ 10.5 : 1 compression. Most other options just reduce weight or handling.

I am also thinking or going to 3.31 :1 gears. I occassionally drag race (1 or 2 times a year, turn mid 11's) but I mostly road race and put about 1/4th of my miles on the street. I need more speed on my topend for tracks with longer straight-a-ways. Currently about 6300 RPM's are my max before I break something.
