You should take the heads to a good shop and have the springs installed and shimmed to get the proper seated and open pressures. Should be around 135lb closed if I remember correctly. Call Mike at FT to make sure.

Fred,
The springs that come with the kit should work great for your build. At 1.75" those springs will be right at 135-140. I have used many of them with no issues.

Thank you Ken :smile: from the ones uve seen with my whole setup heads/cam/turbo etc. R my goals in my future???
If they come with their kit they are likely 26918. The will be good in that application. Looks like you are looking for about 133mph in 3rd.
Ya maybe 133 with 30psi. It would be nice if I could get 10.4 n 127-128 with 26psi tho
That should be no problem. Id focus on the suspension.
My current suspension is not enough? I've got brand new 275/60 ET streets
If you want to run high 1.30's low 1.40's it will take a lot more than just tires. Springs/shocks and practice.
I have that cam, and our builds are pretty close, just make sure your installed height is correct and you should not have a problem. I have had my engine together now for about 6k miles and it is nice and quiet and runs great! It will twist 6k no problem!
My goal was a 10 sec full weight GN anywhere in the 10s ....I would be stocked with a 10.99! I ran this past April on a set of Nittos crappy launch 1.72 60' and ran an 11.54 on 19psi just bumping 20 psi at 1000 mark. I am gonna go back in February after I get a powelogger and hopefully bump the 10's I am confident the car will do it just need a good launch and 24 psi and I should be there.
What Turbo you got I did not see it in your build?

the comps that came with the kit, there has been a lot of talk about the comps on this board and how noisy they are. I took my time during assembly and made sure my pushrod length was good and correct cam end play.
I had a really big flat tappet hyd cam before is sounded sick and made big power but like 2 cams previous it wiped a lobe around 6k miles. I saved for a year to get a roller and it was a great choice it is a really good cam!

mine are close to 140lbs
Shim them to about .030 from coil bind.
weber racing set them up so i am sure they are correct. they are supposed to be 135 to 140 depending on height
