Does this sound like its on par?`

For the car in the sig, here are my times from the local track the other night. It was at sea level, more or less, and upper 80s. Tires are streets with 30 psi. It's running pretty rich also.

I'm still getting used to the t56 and I can tell it has much more potential with some good tires.

best run was 8.285 @ 85.844 with a 1.883 60'
2nd best was 8.435 @ 81.563 with a 1.99 60'
best mph was 8.639 @ 86.648 with a 2.119 60'

you need some 4.10's.

How much work is in the heads?

Not much at all. I think just a 3 angle valve job and gasket matching. I believe the bellows are smoothed a little as well. The intake also had some work done.
