Funny 24 hr later it is Fuzzy
The short version,will the better VE in the aluminum or ported irons lessen my chance of detonation?
Trying not to be a slow learner.Iv only had knock two or thee times and never more than 2*KR.
But in Sep.I took out a head gasket #1 rod #1 ,2and 3 main.No KR and o2s in 11.5 range previous 5 passes

Well the short block got hurt in September.Car was a 12.0 and a lot of 11.90@ 112-114mph
The new short block has #1,2and3 caps a DLS forged  rotating assemblies
Ill use my Fullthrottle 206-210 roller cam
My heads were stock I just cleaned up the casting from the flash and sharp edges,stock valves and 3 angle valve job and beehive springs.
Tom at Champion advice is CNC ported Irons, But just a few $100 and Im  in a set of aluminum.
I now the Irons will go 9s and Im just going to go 11.5
With VE being equal between the two,
Weight, hart shape comb. chamber  and Chev type Scorpion Rockers Its a 1 vote for the aluminum heads for me
How many vote Aluminum , how many vote ported irons and how many vote just leave them the way it was
PS a small (very small)chance Ill put this engine in a GenIII and shot for 10s. I have a spear that is stock

Thanks for the post on turbo tweak forms.
This car gets a lot of shakas on the return road Im the only car in the 11.90 class going through the mufflers and not showing up on a trailer.
The forms have been a lot of help I have read Vortex several times
Got the CS to 1% I bet the 28 in slicks will change it again but no big deal,Edge said let her rep the clutch will take it

convertor is a EDGE carbonfiber clutch

spent about a hour on the power logger Third gear CS factor and wallace racing converter slip calculator

PL speed reading will be low 100mph PL actual mph 104mph I see no speedo offset but I believe I have the proper CS%

32% @85 -12.7%@112  try trap speed

Yes the the car is on ALKY and scanmaster is in the 750-780 most of the time 40 miles home HG OK.
Just installed a Wide band not use to looking at it,no help there.
21-22 mph  pick up is this cars MO for the past 20 passes convertor  locked or not locked,locking @85 gave me 2-3 mph and 12.0 to 11.9
I cant fill the convertor lock on the track but locks fine on the street to and from the track
I prefure the KISS tuning
The 2step has not changed (2900 6* retard)but it was 12lb not 10lb like it had been.
My jaw dropped with 1.44  then 1.38 60ft and the ET was 12.0   I'm not convince those 60ft are right even the 12.0s.
It is a different club this week ,the Outlaw club just run test and tune.this is where all my 11.90 slips come from,This club  runs a Pro Gas program Im trying to run the 11.90 class
Me and this club have gone round and round about safety equment they want 3in belts and trans blanket I did buy the jacket,dont see how they can miss with the lights.IRHR rule book says the car is good to go
Started this thread last night after getting home with a little frustration,this car has not been this inconsistent the last 20 passes and this slow last 10

I just so this post for the first time Is that M5 meth.in the ALKY tank or M1 From my old motorcycle days I would say there is a hint of nitromethane and is rich.Never wire brush a plug!when you run a single cylinder two stroke you learn this real quick,no body next door to pickup the slack.My 3.8 has 5000 miles on the plugs has  no seals on the EX. valve and puffs a little smoke at start up, and look way better than those.
