I like them. Good heads for the money. You can't go wrong.

The car ran 10.25 at (I think) around 128 MPH on these heads.

At what rpm are you currently launching, on the trans brake?

The MSD 7530 is a sweeet piece! We've got a digital 6 and will soon upgrade to a digital 7. A data logger is the next must have for me.

What kind of wheels you getting?

I can't decide if I like the Aluma stars or the Magnum 2.0 for our new setup. Either one will probably be 15x15 or 16x15 and have beadlocks.
