New best at Atco last night

Gotta make changes in my sig. line. I finally got around to putting in c-clip eliminators and a spool. Figured while I was at it I'd bump the gears up to 4.10 from 3.73's. My short time improved from 1.69 best to 1.62! Made 5 passes, all consistant. Best E.T. jumped from 11.57 to 11.48, almost all of the difference was in the 1/8 mile. The gears obviously helped A LOT and helped overcome my lousy stall converter.

Now all I need to do is come up with around 100 horsepower and I'll be solid in the 10's.

More cam, carb and converter is planned.

Opinions needed - How much can I expect to gain by switching my Pro-Topline heads for AFR 210's? Can't tell you much about the Pro-Topline heads other than the fact that they are cast, not aluminum. They came with the car, never been off the motor. But will be off this winter!
