Low 400s on a 6.0 is easy.  12s at your weight is low 400s.

I was running 12.40 @ 111 @ 4900lbs making 425whp

 That's what I'm sayin . I'm trying to stay next to or pull our 18' quadrifoglio that runs 12.1's (weight is 3400ish on it ) . But trying to be a Lil easy on the wallet. For sure forged pistons and rods . If I can find a  decent price on a whole rotating Assembly I'll go that route . I still have the heads to rebeef up also  . I have to finish the rx7 by Xmas, rotarys cost 💵 and the one that is going be the devils ride as some one say . At 2400ish pounds and dropping ... my purpose for him is time attack/fast lap and also midnight highway brawler . There's some shop buyers egos around town that need to be crushed for the home garage built guys  ....

 And even then it not really the shop built stuff cause I strive to one day have a shop even if just a few builds a year. . Just those ones that buy something and think that just cause they spent x amount that they un stoppable. I'll alway be on the under dog side when it comes to that . Even if my dreams come true and there is a shop in my future . Comes down to morals I guess

 Nice! Head porting is as much an art as science.

 That's no lie . I rather have more to take away later then to much, and screw up the flow and can't add it back . I'm hopin for a extra 20-25 cfm on top of the 210 it flows already
