In 2000 I decided to step it up a bit so I swapped the Trick Flow heads for a set of AFR 210 Race Ready heads and a Crower solid roller cam. Everything else from the '98 build was left alone.
In May of 2001 I took the car to the track and the first pass off the trailer easing into the throttle it ran 11.83 @ 116 with a slow 1.74 sixty foot. On subsequent passes I got more agressive with it but it wouldn't hook and ran a bunch of 12.0's at 114 spinning the tires. I didn't take the car back to the track until January of 2006. See page 2 to see how it did.
