Fireballed Head/cam results in!!!

A few day before I had my Fireballed head and cam installed I compared my car to my buddies MSC in Airzona for a few days. We raced many times and we were pretty much dead even. Now a month later we just had a chance to race again but this time with my new Head/Cam. The result were pleasing but them again I would always like more. We raced from 30mph to 100mph (on a private road) and I beat him by 3 car length but after 100mph the gap became bigger. The FBT kit gave me 41whp and I guess that is about 3 car lengths?

Glad to hear! But you might want to remove the speed since its a touchy issue on this forum.

It was me

It was me he beat. I must say I was impressed with the additional power especially at higher speeds. 3-4 gear is where you notice the power. ........................Guess it's time for me to get the head and cam done. I can't be in second place for too long

I'm not sure what they are charging but I guess it would be around $3,300 with parts ECU and install.

You know if you get Head/cam then I will get a turbo. Then you will get one and then I will get Nitrous. It will never end. Damn I should have done a turbo from the start!

41whp is very impressive Mario. I would still like to run you though. i know you will beat me, but i just want to see how hard you actually pull on me.

From the Site guidelines:

Big brother won't shut it down, but the mods surely will.
