The best guy to ask is Ryan from Shady Dell...I currently have a mild W2 stroker and I am pretty impressed so far...Give me another 30 days, and a good opening day, and I might be even more impressed. Check out his website...Just wish he would fix some of the links... http://www.shadydellspeedshop.com/ '70 Cuda,...605 EFI Hemi Street Car (6.20 best pass, 1.33 60ft) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYw6RA-k5Bk (6.25 at 108.75mph from inside car) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zQEb9uxFng (6.25 at 108mph from outside car) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCvfzsC4NgM (9.9) '66 Barracuda AWB Stretched nose Blown 440 Car in build stage '71 Duster Drag Car 400 Low Deck 512 best 6.002 at 115.44mph https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Znuo3jMUXTk

W2 seems to work alright so far. There are faster combos out there, and better W2's, buy all in all I'm happy so far. When I can afford it I will go to a bigger top end. My engine made around the 740hp mark corrected. It may make 680 on a different dyno. However, the time slip will tell the real story. -Kenny

It's cheaper to buy Indy's cnc ported heads most times. I know Jeff at Modern has a program for W2's, maybe he'll chime in on what he's seen his ported W2's make for power...his cnc job may be priced better than hand ported W2's. Brian Brian Hafliger

I know I'd love to get mine ported.

My W2 headed pump gas 408 dipped into the high 9's last year and flow a little over 300cfm with the stock 2.02 valve. When I ported these I didn't even push for higher numbers as I am only running a 550 lift Racer Brown solid lift cam in this engine. I am also running a powerglide transmission and not the quicker 904. I ran these times with a 750 holley carb and will try a 1050 dominator this season. My next set will have either a 2.05 valve or maybe even a 2.08 valve. The stock flow numbers maxed out at 260cfm on my W2's before porting. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Im sure for your dad to be convinced he must be getting a comp/eliminator engine builder to build the engine. 2hp per cube is doable but be prepared to rev the engine 8to9 thousand rpm.
