It would seem like the better chamber design would be worth a little bit of power. Hughes has a nice rocker arm setup so that solves the one concern that I used to have. The heads can be drilled for LA or W2 intake manifolds so that solves the intake issue. Anyone running ported Magnum heads with a Victor or W2 intake? I haven't seen any pictures yet but there must be a few guys with the combo.

Hughes stud valve train, heads drilled to accept LA and Magnum bolt patterns. Also run a ported Vic 340 Jr. They have been great. Fastest 300

There aren't a lot of race intakes available for the Magnum bolt pattern. I don't understand why the Hughes rocker arms won't work on the aluminum Magnum heads. Guess I'll have to give them a call to get the details. I assumed the bolt pattern was the same between the aluminum and iron heads. Must be something that is different.

Must be something that is different. probably has something to do with the eddy stud thread size vs the bolt thread size of the hold downs for their magnum rockers...some told me they would work with thread inserts in the magnum heads.... would like to know..i have nice size of ported magnums...
