depends on your combo. if the porting is optimized for your cam (and vice versa), you could see pretty significant gains. jeff would probably have a pretty good idea what you could gain.

If your combo can support it, the flow gain could be worth up to 2 hp per cfm gained. So if the head flow goes up 30 cfm, it will support 60 more hp... if the rest of the combo will support it. Rough, but without any other info, that is all I can offer.

I doubt if you are even come close to using the extra air flow with that cam. but you should still see an improvement from the low lift numbers.

I'm sure,if you gave all of your information to Jeff,you will be happy with the results.
I have never used him personally,but he knows what he is doing.

We run mostly 1/8th down here in NC, Just had Shady Dell do a Stage 2 (from maybe 240-ish to 270+) on my Eddies for my 12:1 414, hoping that ~30cfm nets me another 50 or so HP, which for me also allows me a higher RPM cieling to where I won't have to take gear out of my comb when I run the 1/4.

As said it really depends on the rest of the combo, and if the short block you have has hit it's "saturation point" VE wise with the Compression, cam and induction you have. In other words is it to the point where Head flow is the main thing holding it back (causing/resulting in the power falling off)

there are so many things that could have caused that other than the heads.
