Nope, the heads were on my car when I bought it. I think Bret said the cam is between an LE1 and LE2 cam, I'm not sure if its closer to one or the other but it works in my car so thats all that matters to me.

Ditto, the little bit of cam noise burnouts and gear banging make it much better.

I haven't gotten it on the dyno with the new set, well I did but I was getting vavle float and I'm pretty sure I fixed it. So I have no idea. As far as the other mods, I have all the usual stuff,
Ported heads, Ported intake manifold, 58mm TB, 32lb injectors, Jethot headers, True duals, U/D pulley, and one of the most important things, a dyno tune.

Well since this is back to the top, heres what my heads flowed when I ran those times.
.2 132/104
.3 186/127
.4 226/158
.5 243/164
.6 238/169

They are currently being turned into LE2 heads.

I don't believe those flow numbers at all for turning 118mph trap speeds with a power peak past 6000rpm unless there's something you aren't telling us...

Those are the flow #'s. Stock pistons, bore, stroke, ect, and a stock waterpump. Heres the pics of the ports, there isn't that much done to them...

Since they work so good Id buy a new set of heads for your LE2 and save those for something else?

It's all a big conspiracy.

Interesting that it is very rare for cars at least on this website cannot trap above 116mph with reputable heads/cam combos where the heads have reportedly flowed 280+cfm and dynoed 39x/4xxrwhp... It seems nowadays the running norm is having to dyno at least 420rwhp in order to run anwhere close to 118-120mph through the traps.
If you haven't realized it yet there's always an untold story when it comes to modifying, the dyno, the flow bench and racing whether it be from the person or the components.

What's your race weight?

The Probably ~3600, it only has the !spare/jack and !back seats, but then I have 17x9's up from and 17x11's out back, SFC's, C5 brakes up front, and a bigass becool radiator, so its basically a full weight car, all power everything ect. I posted pics of the timeslips and a video of me at the track, what more do you want? I'm suprised it ran as hard as it did, but track #'s don't lie. And it was at the gainesville dragstrip, they the gator nationals their so it's not like its some ghetto track with the timing equipment all screwed up.

Man the VJ on those heads you can tell works like crap, the intake ports being as black as they are. The entry is all jacked up as well along with a bad guide area, I don't even want to see the short turn. I believe they flowed that easy.

I'm with Javier it's a big conspiracy, it's just like the pushrod conspiracy. Especially those results from Crane with the 240lbs springs over the nose on the 214 .440" cam gaining 12hp with real pushrods. They all just make this **** up.

I believe the ET's are real. It was a simple question. Didn't know if your car was a tin can or not. You have to admit it's REAL hard to believe you can achieve that kind of MPH with that kind of flow on the heads. How many other heads/cam LT1's do you see running that MPH with a decent heads/cam combo? I haven't seen all too many as of late. It's nothing against your car or your combo. It's a question as to whether or not those flow numbers are accurate. Just like a dyno you can make a flow bench spit out any number you want. The real deal will be when you get back to the track with your improved heads. What kind of mph are you expecting to achieve after they've been reworked? Have you been told what to expect?
Bret... you're such a woman. Get over it. I agree with most everything you've stated except for the fact that you believe ALL hardened pushrods and Comp R's are junk. Do I have to agree with everything you say in order for you to stop whining? As far as gaining 12hp that could've happened with something as simple as an engine temperature variation. Too many variables to just outright believe that small of a hp increase.
The bottom line is I posted a link to some cheap hardened pushrods that WORK for mild applications. Please refrain from ****ting up this thread with your estrogen filled comments.

Thanks
