Yes Jerry, He did run and had a good turnout with temps 55-60. I paid entry to race, but got money back after the time trials, transbrake was acting up again & I couldnt hit the tree if I was leaning against it. Many said .4 difference between CJ & DOVE heads, didnt turn out that way. My best ETs with CJs at the first of the year ranged from 5.85 to 5.90. Sunday the DOVEs on a freshened block, reringed, cam, bngs.etc.same carb, same jets yeilded 5.95 to 5.98 as best. As you know these heads are ported by me to CJ intake size & tapering to DOVE size right before short turn. All removal & resizing int. & exh. was done in the upper part of port only, floor was only cleaned up. I was concerned about exh. flange being so narrow, but it didnt leak. These heads are going to like more timing than the CJs & more jet as the water temp was some 20 degrees higher than CJs with same jet. Maybe after a few runs, adj. timing & fuel, it might even be faster. Sounds a lot different too. I may have to go to a 4.56 or 4.30 gear to keep it in RPM range I have cam & cam timing set at.Dont like 67-68 in lights with an unbalanced stock bottom end, although it never hurt it before. Thanks for asking.Had a couple of Jerry Smith escapades (almost) as one car broke a trans line on launch, took out 60' timers, almost hit other car. Another spun completely around at half track not hitting anything. ------------------

sounds good, time will pan it out. We'll have some good weather to race soon enough. Maybe early Feb. I have a set of 9 inch 4.56's if you're interested. Price is right too. Never glad to see anyone spinning but I'm glad he didn't pull a "me" and run through the guard rail. I wonder if I made the top 5 on Mr. Franks all time list of damaging track equipment? I have to put my rear end back under the car next week and it should be ready. Got another third member ready to install. Should be a tad bit more stall on the vertor since I'm goin from 4.56's to 4.11's. Might run slower but should be easier out of the hole. Might have to buy a 9 inch vertor after this, we'll see. You need to try a few races at Holly Springs this year and bust in on that 6.00 index pro tree stuff. I think I can slow it down some by shifting sooner.
AND I think we can wear them out if we get our shiznits right! Cya and Merry Christmas. ------------------
