im used to things on small block chevys. never used anything with less than a 215 runner and 2.05 valves....

there is a guy over on turbo forums that runs 8.60 well over 140 mph with box stock 170 cc TW heads with 20+ psi of boost. There is a formula some where that goes in to how much cfm to make said HP some where but I dont remember were I seen it. How fast you looking to go is the real question.

I am looking to go 11 teens on motor and still be able to drive it back and forth to the track and back and forth from petersburg to richmond a couple times a week in good weather. the suspention is set up in the rear and i bought an anthony jones k-member and a-arms last week, with plans on a flaming river rack and steering shaft with next months commission check

im in middle of pulling the engine(347 is what i was told it was, still need to verify) out now to rebuild and spec the cam to see if i can add a little more. not sure how much more i can go with these twisted wedge heads yet. i hear they take away from running larger lift cams because of the placement of the valves?

i will be running a 75mm acufab throttle body with these heads and a trickflow r intake and then figure out how much cam i can run and then buy the correct injectors for the above setup.

am i being realistic with what i have?

I think you will be fine the heads will do that. I really dont think you are asking to much. But I dont think it is gone to fall out of a tree and run that fast I think you will need to work a bit for it. But it can be done.
