I agree, stuff does happen. The question is at what extremes does it happen, and how "durable" is the item under extreme conditions.

Dude, you're leaving over 150 HP on the table. Do you think a hydraulic roller is capable of making that additional 150 HP? If not, what type of cam and lifter would you suggest to reach the 800 HP potential of the heads, speaking as a racer and not as an engine builder/businessman?

I'm not leaving anything on the table. I have a streetable maintainance free combo that runs on REAL pump gas and has great idle qualities.
You can take everyone's combo and go crazy with the parts. Not the deal.

This is not a full all out race engine. I had semi one of those when I ran 8.90's with stock suspension.
I built it to show people you can have a 10 second engine in your street car without a lot of chassis mods and have fun without all the tuning hassles. Basic parts, nothing trick. Same as those BBC and FORD Chrylser engine deals offered out there.

I ran 10.30's with out of the box E-heads with a 1.77 exh valve installed and gasket matched the heads to the intake. Something anyone can do. That's the whole point. And the reason for posting in the STREET section.

I have one cam step to go with a hydraulic roller profile and feel it will make around 700hp without touching the CV-1 heads.

No trick crank: Moldex std crank used out of Butler ole red 65. No knife edge, etc.
No trick rods: Std BME 6.8 BBC rods.
No trick pistons: My basic weight and ring pac BRC Flat top pistons.
No trick Ignition: std MSD dist & 8.5 wires.
No trick timing chain set up: double roller
No trick head work: Stock out of the box.
Port matched intake NOW: Ran it stock to 10.16@132
No trick Carb: std 1050 dominator just prepped by me.
Harland sharp 1.7 rockers.
5/16" pushrods.
No titanium valve: Just Ferrea SS 6000 series.
No trick oil pan: Canton with crank scrapper.
Melling oil pump with .060 shim.
Hooker over the counter #4202 2" headers.
Street car.

And Like i said. Between rounds or after a pass i just go into my trailer and relax. No covers to be pulled. LOL.

I'll be content with mid 9's and hess 93 octane. How far into the nines will just take time.
At least if i do break anything all the parts are basic over the counter items.
