yeah I did read it awhile ago..pretty good stuff. I know it's all about flow velocity and not just how big the runners are and other factors, of course.
Here's a good question for you: How large are the runners of a stock 351w head('74)
I'm figuring I only need about 170-185cc runners for whatever heads I go with, if I keep my current cam. I think the 205-210 heads are overkill for my setup.
I just want to make the right choice because I don't want to end up with something that's too much or something that's no better than what I already have.
A 6500-6800 shift point would suite me fine.
What's your professional opinion on what I need. I'd like to run high 11's n/a but if it ends up costing me more than what I can afford or willing to pay then I may as well just keep the nitrous and spray my way into the 11's....right?
