Default Re: 555 Combo Thoughts/Opinions...

BB2X Heads ( They have some work done but dont have any flow numbers....Int Runner measures out at 350)

I'm stuck on the intake decision, and if this cam is the right grind??

I have an 1150 to use. I'll most likely run VP112

The car is a 230" HT, weighs 1847 with an alum headed bbc and 200lb driver.

4.10 gear, 33.5x17x16 tire, and a 6100 converter.

Thoughts?
Criticisms?
Predictions?

Thanks in advance!

Rick, I'll give my thoguhts. Cam is perfect and you'll be very happy with that choice. Intake, go with a Brodix 2017 or a Edelrbock 454R. Converter will need to be looser to get full potential (6400-6500) and will be more consistent looser. My guess on et, 1/8th 4.88@142, 1/4 7.70s@174. most likely will need weight in the nose if the battery isnt there already.
