As stated above, 4 out 5 Pickolbags and Fartsmellers agree, the Cartek cam/heads & cam packages are stout performers.

Thats what I said "Capable" then became I have to do it. Then the 10.99 goal dropped to 10.5s for 2008 Who knows what 2009 will bring

I know Murillo well and have seen the Vette he built in person before it was tonr back down. I certainly hope your car isnt going to be a daily driven car because all he and they employeeswho drove it had to say about it was it was a pain in the *** on the road! The car was tuned on the line too. 175 shot on top af 475 all motor is close to blast off. He did do a terrific job with the car getting it in the 9's and that was his goal!

I have the Cartek 4X heads, 2X nitrous cam, Ported Fast 90/90, and NX wet kit along with all the bolt-ons. I made 453 and 400 and with the 4.10's... the car feels like its going to rip your the skin off your bones! I havent even sprayed it yet and im so happy with it on motor. Now... if it just hadnt cost me so much! LOL

How come some companies use new pushrods, yet ECS says they don't use them unless they need deck clearance. They said they've run them stock ones on 1000hp motors without problems, yet I thought they were a weak link.
