Either way it's impressive to run 11s with those heads, especially when there are lots of cars with aftermarket aluminum heads that don't run as well.

NMRA F/S guys run a 58cc head, but none the less, the things they do with a stock combo, as awesome

Larry, have you tried the cam at different centerlines?
4 deg retarded seems alot to me for only running 6200 RPM.
Do you use all 5 gears? Is 5th gear 1.1 ?
