The easiest way to make more power is to add compression. The 10.7 compression is going to really box you in. You can make big power with that compression but you get forced into a narrow power range and a very specific camshaft.


What did it run et wise ? just curious about these heads.
I built a 12 to 1 511 rb with used SR's and a flat tappet cam for 4500$ its been 9.60's


That engine never went in a car. Sold the top end to one guy, the short block to someone else and the oil system got parted out to a bunch of different guys.
