Default 351w h/c/i set-up for 11's

non roller 351 windsor, carburated.

whats a good combo that will get me into the high 11's with proper suspension. i was thinking of trick flow trackheat heads, edelbrock performer air gap int, and a ????????? cam somewhere in the .550" lift range.

but i am open to suggestions, lets hear em!

i copied this from their site..


The Track Heat heads feature higher rate valve springs (125 lbs. seat pressure at 1.780" installed height), 10 degree super locks, and manganese bronze guides. The heads can handle cams up to .600" lift when used with Trick Flow forged race pistons

you'll make more power with solid lift but if your gonna drive this thing around i'd go hyd. so your not battling adjustments and noisy bullcrap all the time.

btw, if you were gonna use a .550 or .600 lift roller - i'd want a little more than 125 lb of spring pressure @ the seat specially if your gonna be winding this thing up.
