A redneck port an polish is my dad looking at a set of Hemmi Adkins heads i had got done for my 401 and gasket matching and taking out metal where he took out. He did a real good job considering that we don't have a flow bench. We ran a 7.73 at 87 or 88 before on a set of 291-c's on a 401 with no head work and then he decided to see what would happen if we took his 70' 390 and did a "Red Neck Port and Polish" and we turned a 7.42 at 91 mph. Picking up 3 tenths is alot when your running 7's. On the virtual engine caculator i got off the internet says that he picked up 55 hp, making a total of around 475 hp based on the fact that his car weights 3,200 pounds that of course came from the port work, cam, and also a set of roller rockers. He picked up that much horsepower on his stock valves, pistons, rods, crank. But if you want a perfect set of heads send them to Hemmi Adkins he does a great job and i can't wait to see what a set of professionally ported heads do. I think that my car will be running a couple tenth's faster than my dad's on pump gas.

Hasn't the Nationals been changed to Cordova this year instead of Atlanta. I was hoping it would be in Atlanta ,because we are only an hour and a half from atlanta. Anyways we will be going to the nationals this year if it is in Atlanta or Cordova. Hopefully i will have my car ready to show and race when the nationals get here!

The car looks bad ass. <snip> This car is no trailer queen, but is one of the nicest cars you will see at a drag strip and it always draws a crowd at the car shows and at the track. > Jade Neal
