The car has 13.5:1 compression with the old 516 heads on it. At $8 a gallon for race gas I have not driven it as much as I would have liked to. I have narrowed it down to either the Stealths or these. They are part number P5153524 and was wondering if anyone has used these and what they thought of them ? 1969 Super Bee High School car I got back 2004 Ram 2500

Look on my website in the tech article section. www.arengineering.com I like the 452 heads. The straight plugs solve some issues that the Edelbrock heads have. My heads were sent to Jeff at MCH for his CNC porting work. They looked great and made good power on the dyno.

I am wanting to say 75cc but it was 20+ years ago when I built this engine and I do not remember what they were for sure. But I figured living at 5800',aluminum heads and bigger chamber would help bring its need for 100 octane back to something closer to premium levels. 1969 Super Bee High School car I got back 2004 Ram 2500
