We are supposed to be clearing the air on SB head choices, so why is it so hard for people to say:
> This is what I chose.
> This is what I spent on heads.
> This is what I spent on an intake
> This is what I spent on rockers
> This is what I spent (in time or money) on port work.
> These are the problems I had, or the things I Do or Don't like about my choice.
Edelbrock Performer RPM
Shady Dell Stage II Port
2.05 intake valve upgrade
K-motion K-800 solid roller springs.
Erson 1.6 Roller Rockers.
Victor 340 port matched to the heads.
This is what I ended up with after asking about a set of W-2's on here. I'm not real sure, but I expect with these on 408-430 ci in a 2850# car I should be able to hit mid 10's easily without having to RPM it to death or pull the valve covers every other pass. I gave way less than $2500 including shipping and such.
Back to the OP's question, I've seen gobs of stock stroke 340 and 360 stockers going deep into the 10's with "unported" X and J heads. 12's should be a cake walk without spending too much dough at all.
