New Cylinder Heads arrived!
 

Edelbrock RPM 440's for my 383 were delivered today and it felt like Christmas, all over. Only took 4 days from Mancini's. I also got the Pro Magnum roller rockers.

Anyone care to hazzard a guess as to how much time it'll shave off my ET ? MPH increase ? I'm going from stock 906's and steel stamped rockers. The best ET I had last season was 12.024 @ 112.4

:-k 11.43 @ 127 :3gears:

Are you just bolting them on and going racing? If so, I'm gonna guess 11.78.

Are you doing any tuning to go along with the new heads? If so, my guess will be 11.53.

11.70s?? Better get ready. It may quit snowing someday ??

I'll say 11.60s

Hummm. So far the guesstimates are between 11.43 and 11.78. I'm thinking 11.50 to 11.55 That would still be quite a leap.

Out of the box, they look pretty good, just gonna clean up some minor casting flash in the ports. Yeah, Mike, some tuning work will definitely be in order when I finally make it to the track.

For now, just hoping for a break in the weather.

11.87
