    We change coil overs so we have a heavier spring in the rear for street driving. We also change tires.

    Never know. The heavier hitters may take themselves out beating each other up.

    After Larry and Jeff the average was above 8.5 and 4th was a 9.8.

    Likewise with my uncaged car in BB street race. 4th place was the first one over the 11.5 mark.

Ebay Ti valves, Manley .250 long rods and old but brand new Lunati pistons all for under $ 1000 bucks total, bought those parts on a cold winter weekend back in 2008. Motor had excellent high quality machining and was not thrown together, just some parts well bought.

    Check out Doc Fox red lighting us starting at the 5:00min mark in this clip;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8EdrACyNAQ

    That was with claped out rear shocks and no anti-roll bar in the rear.
    Red light???? Now you tell me... I thought we were at pinks and you gave me two lengths!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This was with a Big Shot Plate NOS 468 BBC 12.5 to 1 making close to 1100 hp running 8.91 154 for the week average.

    Same thing with the 598 we now have, just have never made by day 2 without killing a roller lifter or worse.

    Change your oil every day before you run.
    What heads did you run on the 468?

    I didn't do much. At track: Change tires, remove air filter, unhook vacuum advance, pull evacs and put in regular vc breathers, head to the lanes.
