I've heard that you can run twisted wedge on a 86 motor but I've never seen anyone actaully try it. I don't think the twisted wedge heads use the valve reliefs on 87+ car so I don't see why you can't use them on 86 motor. Really with bolt ons ie: intake manifold, exhaust, gears and some good tires you should be able to hit high 13's low 14's no problem. I think thats pretty acceptable for a street car.

I'm getinng ready to install the TFS top end kit on my 86. I'll let you all know how it turns out after I check the P2V clearance with clay. I'm pretty sure the TW's will work with the 86 flat tops no problem. Hey WHL, is your 86 a T-Top car? Mine is and I love the T-tops. Orginal mileage is 58K and change. I'm the third owner and I know the previous two owners. Even though it's low mileage though it's in rough shape at the moment since my buddy let it sit for the past 5 years. She will be resurrected again though.

hold up, you def need to notch the pistons i have an 86 and i run 13's on stock motor w/ 373s and underdrive pullies. But if you wanna do anythin to the heads u need to notch the pistons no aftermarket heads fit But get the car its fast and looks great
