Well, I used to think that the stock heads were the problem.

But (before blowing the motor) I had a 85 GT with a 88motor, stock cam, stock heads, with intake carb, ignition and fulll exhaust and that little sob ran 105mph.

Its focusing on a good tune, and some motors just have it, and others don't.
