Do any of your stage II heads come with single springs?

All our stage 2 heads come with dual springs.

How well does your car run at the track? 18 ftlb and 18hp, I'll take that for sure. Was that power increase directly noticed at the track?
I actually picked up 26rwhp and 12rwtq. I had my manifold ported by Tony Mamo and am using a Nick Willliams TB. I also had the heads milled another .020" for a total of .030" mill which gave me 61cc chambers. went from 413rwhp and 390rwtq to 440rwhp and 402rwtq. I then added Jesel SS rockers and spent quite some time tweaking the wipe pattern and shimming the rockers, and one last thing I did was index my spark plugs. I ended up with 454rwhp and 421rwtq. Through 4:10's. I didn't track the car much, too many things happened in my personal life this year, but the few times I did track it was at Island Dragway and on street tires went 11.80's, and low 120's. I can't drive. Then I put the Jesel's on and would have taken a few more tenths and added a few more mph I'm sure.

My friedn BLACKTOP2000 has a very similar setup to mine. 62cc AFR 205's with the AFR cam - 224/228 114+1. He put 414rwhp with LS6 manifold. Then with an unported LS2 TB and unported FAST90 he went 432rwhp with JUST those additions. Hope this helps. I can tell you that if you have a modded LS1 you won't go wrong with a FAST90/90, and a ported one is better yet. Although it's pretty expensive, by the time you get to the intake manifold all the other 'cheap' mods have been done.

The only addition here is my FAST90(ported by me) and an LS2 tb(ported by Speed Inc). I picked up 20/9 to the rear wheels.

I have Patriot 243 cnc'd heads and a 232/240 .595/.610 110 cam.

What I really like about all this data is the fact that almost all of it indicates the same power increases including low end increases.
I should put this on for the New Years Day drag races. I wonder how far out Tony M needs to get one ready.

Tony's at PRI this week. I was fortunate when I got mine, he had one he just finished so I shipped him a new unit and he shipped me back the one he had on hand. Give him a shout next week. Since you are in CA, shipping time should be reduced compared to us guys on the right coast, which takes a week. They are heavy and bulky and not cheap to ship.

So if I have a Port Matched LS6 intake on my Z06, and would put on a Tony Mano Fast ported 90/90 intake and T.B. would I pick up hp, and see a difference in the throttle response??

WOW..pretty bold statement...would you please explain dyno queen?? did the car only pull on top end and was a pig down low?? cartek has many- i would say in the 100's of customers all running low 11's at big mph using this set up...

OTHER POSTER:
460 is optimistic for the Cartek 2x. I had their 2x system. I had underdrive pulley, tb, ported intake, etc and no cats. The car was way slower than my 400rwhp car now. In my opinion, it was a dyno queen and in fact was 0.5sec slower than my current car with stock
tb, stock underdrive pulley, stock intake, and cats. Just the facts.
