They are Trick Flow TW heads ported by Ron @ Fox Lake. Im using Harland Sharps shaft mounted rockers that have a custom Diamond Cut to cut some weight off them. And the cam is a hydrolic custom grind to fit the rules of Pure Street (.500 lift max)

God damn thats one sexy car! Sorry if this is a n00b question but, why is the ignition box mounted inside? Ive seen a fox at a car show around here with it mounted in the same place...
