Finally upgraded top end to match bottom end build
So I originally built my forged 13.2:1 compression 385 2 years ago, running E85 with a custom LE cam (24x/25x .61x/.62x 110), planning to use LE 21* TFS heads and ported intake, but as things usually go with builds, costs started exceeding budget, so I ended up sticking with the 185cc EB Porting heads and stock intake I used on my mild LE cammed stock block. Now I've finally upgraded the top end to AFR 210 Comp Eliminators with Manley Nextek beehives and a ported LE LT4 intake, which drops compression slightly to 12.5:1.
Never dynoed the old setup but it ran consistent 92mph in the 1/8 with a blown pass side exhaust gasket and mail order tune. Should have it back together this week, any guesses what I should expect with a proper dyno tune on this new setup?

13.2:1???? running race fuel or e85? Either way sounds like a fun build. Did you ever strap it down to a dyno with the 185cc heads?

Well it was 13.2 with the smaller heads, the 55cc AFR's put me back down to 12.5, and yes E85. I'll post pics once everything is fully together, should be by Friday.

So finally got it started this morning, and went on a little cruise. It pulls HARD, especially mid-high RPM. Here are a few pics and the startup video.

Bro, I don't even like you anymore! Lol
You have all the parts I wanted.
Regardless, you have a clean engine bay and quality parts.
I want to see some numbers and some full pics of your car. It looks clean so far.93 Z28, 383, PI 3200, Strange 12 bolt, 3.73, Strange coilovers, suspension, and going 24X... for three years or so.
