1. Your reply to this thread in no way helps nor answer's the op's question.

2. this thread ain't about HP, fuel systems nor my former car that I sold 5 years ago.

3. Rich has forgotten more about porting heads than you have yet learned!

4. My former car has not had a Mallory Comp 140 pump on it since 2006. Further after doubling pump output and increasing the main fuel line from 3/8" to -8, it was worth exactly NOTHING on the time slip.

5. The 3 1/2" exhaust system on my former ride that weighed over 50 lbs. was the 3rd system on this car in 8 years. It was also the least restrictive, killing only 7 hundreds in the 1/4.

6. My heads were flowed before Larry and Bruce touched then as well during port development and upon completion.

7. and most important, your only knowledge of my former ride is what you have gleaned over the years reading everyone of my posts.

8. FYI, 3880 lbs. to be exact!

1.The 3880 pounds is hard to believe, just because I own the same car.


"Rich has forgotten more about porting heads than you have yet learned!"

2. Im sure Rich is an excellent engine builder, but I find that extremely hard to believe based on my performance compared to yours.

3. As an engine builder, theres people that can utilize the work you can do for them and theres people who can't. Its possible Larry's work was not used to its potential.

4. I can tell you your exhaust system on the 522 inch 9.89 ET (in New Jersey conditions) aftermarket engine is far from optimum. Ed, its center in, center out.

5. As always Ed I enjoy our give and take, but lets keep it to the facts.

6. 4. My former car has not had a Mallory Comp 140 pump on it since 2006. Further after doubling pump output and increasing the main fuel line from 3/8" to -8, it was worth exactly NOTHING on the time slip.

How much line pressure were you running forward?

7.HMMMMMMMM
Been using Willy's adjustable restrictor plate for the past 6 seasons. That said, there is no simplier, easier or quicker way to adjust your ET up to 5+ tenths in less than 30 seconds.

LOOKS LIKE WE JUST PUT A NUMBER ON THAT 522. LOL
