Just to clear something up, The ports and chambers of my AFR 185's are BOX STOCK !!!!! Only thing Ed (FTI) did to my heads was upgrade the springs and set them up for his cam, YES, I am running an FTI cam.
Here's some food for thought
My 'vert weighs 3700 with me in it and a full bottle
It ran 11.24 @122 @3700lbs, now take my motor, drop it in a race prepped 2600-2700lb coupe (less driver) and what do you think it will run? My guess would be around 10.20's @ around 132+ mph
Now, take off the GT-40 intake and installed a ported RPM, a little cleanup on the heads and you're in the 9's

If you don't like AFR heads, Don't buy them. It's fine by me.
There is NOTHING worse than guys with 13-14 second cars telling someone how to run 10's

OK, The old combo was AFR 165's and a TFS stage 2 cam. Ran a best of 11.64 @ 117.30 1.57 60ft w/150 shot and an altitude density 200 ft. The altitude density the day of my 11.24 @122.18 1.61 60ft w/200 shot was 1900 ft
For what it's worth, I picked up exactly SQUAT switching from JBA shorties to Hooker longtubes

Scott,
The reason I said the weight without the driver is because I am not going to build the car, so I wasn't going to include my weight. [Razz]

Here's a nice 10sec. combo. that I built for a customer of mine (on a budget):
Model LX
Wt. 3,370lbs. w/driver
Engine - stock 302 short block (built by Big Boy Racing)
Vortech S-trim
TB/intake 70mm Trick Flow st intake
Cam E303 (you could get more with the AFMB2 1.6rr)
Mass air proM 77mm
Fuel rail-stock
Pump-255+Trex
injectors 38lb
mac 1 5/8 unequal
computer-stock (I tuned it with fuel pressure & timing)
373 gears
Big Boy Racing sub-frame connectors
Mega byte juniors
lowers Big Boy Racing uppers
This car was driven to and from the race track, best time was a 10.79 at 126 with a 1.59 60ft, he ran consistent 10.80's and he street raced it all the time winning a lot of money. [Smile] The only other way you could get 10's out of a 302 is with nitrous, but I would not recommend the stock block. With that much nitrous, it would be hard for the crank to stay in the mains . [Eek!] A turbo would be nice but I realize that everybody can't afford a turbo setup.this was a kickass motor built on a budget S-trim was bought used.

Yeah Jeff,
You are right. I was told Ben never ran the A4 combination. We were building our cars at the same time. We were supposed to race once he got his setup all finished, but I think he sold everything to buy a house. Then again, a used S-trim+302 can = 10's (on a budget).

I didn't know TurboBen never ran that combo... when he was running mid 10's, he had the same heads, turbo and intake. What was different in the new combo? Just the short block? [Confused]

Wrong again... he had a completely different motor. Different shortblock, cam, heads, and intake. Also different tranny and suspension.

10mph easily. You should pickup 120-150rwhp.
