Thanks. I fig since the motor is getting built. I would add a little more power to it by adding some p/p heads. But that's roughy an extra $800 - $1300 to the build.
Yes. You do need the heads.
Yes. True. Since I can't find anyone to P/P my head's. What's the norm for buying a set of P/P irons
Call J. Cotton or Bison or someone. These guys probably have a used set or something sitting on the shelf.
Ok. Thanks
Is J. cotton a member here. Or does he go up under another name. I've already reached out to Bison. Haven't heard anythig back yet. Also, if you buy some P/P Irons. Can you run them on a stock intake. Or would you P/P intake first. Or does it really matter.
Porting the heads are not needed at this performance level.the boost number needed to to run those numbers will change that is all.those times are achieved by bolt ons with the right guy leading you in a few hrs time.the transmission will be your biggest hurdle at that level.with good tire and learning the car mid 11s without killing the wallet is achievable
You can run ported irons on a stock intake,the stock intake is good way beyond your power level.jack is good people and has been around buick a long time.
Thanks. Since I have to have it built. I fig I would add a little extra hp by adding P/P Irons. Trans was built with around 200 miles on it before motor took a crap. And i was going to buy some street/strip tires for better traction. I've always raced my other toys with slicks. Don't know how tuff these rearend are. Didn't wanna rip it apart with true slicks.
put the slicks on
your limitation is in the turbo,like i said your boost number will change if the heads get ported,the same power needed for mid 11s could be achieved by adding more boost.
I guess we have debated this topic in the past. And I agree with you completely. If it was me, and I had a second TR that I was tinkering with, I would never throw heads on a perfectly good engine just for the sake of running mid 11's. My experience would easily allow me to get to my goal as I have done this in the past. But not everyone is like me or you. And we know most can't count on this web-site for help because every other day it takes a shit.put the slicks on

yes we do agree there,i had 2 nearly identically setup gns here a while back on 49 turbos one had ported heads other car unopened.at the dragstrip the ported head car went 11.5/60s at 21/22 psi the unopened motor did the same at 25/26psi.60fts where the same although the unopened motor needed a little more boost on the leave.inmo 4/5 psi of boost which is a bullshit number anyway
is not worth 2500 to 3000 extra dollars.
