I can make more power than you were making and still keep the level of driveability and maintenance that you were getting before.

That's exactly what I'm looking for......as for power/rpm level, 500 hp and 450's torque is all I'm looking for and need at around 6500 rpms.....I'm not hard on a motor, this one I normally shift anywhere from 6000 to 6500 rpms and only hit 7000 occasionally,depending on the track, most tracks, I never exceed 6700 rpms........
While my RPM Performer heads are old, they have been gone thru (no where near box stock)by a top notch guy here in the south and should be equal to/a tad better than a set of AFR 185s out of the box.....at least that's what I was told, and I have no reason not to believe it.
Flat top JE pistons at about 10.7 to 1 compression, Victor Jr. intake with a one inch four hole "bell" spacer with a 650 Demon.....The spacer was good for about 14 hp and about the same torque over a one inch open spacer on the dyno.....torque curve was super flat and the little motor pulls like a frieght train coming off the corners, in fact low end torque is soo good, I rarely have to use 2cd. gear on a road course, while other more radical motors use 2cd. gear a lot....
One car I race against on a regular basis has an honest 600 hp in a fairly radical motor, he shifts at 7000 rpms and runs the motor to 8000 rpms and the only time he can pull away form me is on a very long straight, in the slower sections of the track I stay on his rear bumper, on the front straight, he may pull away by 3 or 4 car lengths at most and he has 128hp more, so i'm real pleased with that.........
I'll get in touch with you and you can spec out a cam or two for me and we'll go from there.........
thanks for the help/advise,
David
