The W9's might be overkill (or budget kill) for me. What can you get out of a set of ported W2's on a pump gas 408? I've got 11 cars, so I have to kind of spread the funds out a little. The Dart's current 360 has pushed it to a 13.42 @ 100 mph best, but it's pretty tired now, hence the R-block purchase. I'd like to get it in the low 10's so I'd have a chance at qualifying for Street Machine Eliminator if I went for that class.
To give you a general idea I have two W-2 engines; one pump gas 340 and one race 380. The 340 dynoed 410 and the 380 was 550. 340 used a .486 lift cam, the 380 was 670/630. The 340 had an old port job probably hurt more than helped. Lol. The 380 is unported but they are 48* heads. I believe to get the best out of regular heads you need a cam between 550 and 600 lift. Hope that helps.
