Question for Mavman and others
60's went from 1.69-1.71 to 1.55-1.60 330's also dropped about .3 or more (can't remember exact times) and the MPH was nearly 10 mph faster--which is a good indication of the horsepower increase. Went from 94 mph in the 1000' to almost 105, no other changes other than heads & jetting. Then later on, I retarded the timing from 38 to 34 by accident (don't ask...LOL) and picked up another .2 and 1 mph. That was all changing over to the RPM old style heads (6025) from mildly ported C9TE 302 heads that had 1.94/1.60 valves, screw in studs & guideplates and full roller rockers.
Friend of mine has a set of RPM heads on another Maverick....377 windsor....runs 6.80's in the 1/8. Dad has my old RPM heads on his 331 in the Fairmont and has run 6.90's...BUT this season will bring a few changes, hoping for 6.60's. If everything goes right, we should blow the 6.60 mark right out of the water, but I'd just like to pick up around .3 and that'd tickle him pink. BTW, the changes don't include head porting. Didn't have the $$$ for that.
