Does anyone out there have a proven combination for the 289 engine that makes 300 horsepower? I want to use stock heads, so basically I'll be swapping the manifold & cam & adding headers. I'll want to port the heads later, but money matters. I have a good bottom end to build on. (Stock c-code with 9.3:1 static compression I think) I just don't want to build a car that every kid in a Civic can outrun.
