![]() Okay so as some of you may know i posted a thread about my 408 having no balls. i have done some research and decided that the heads i have are just too small ( edelbrock RPM heads, 170cc runners, 202/160 valves)
the engine is this: 408w stroker 10:1 forged pistons (with 60cc chambers, that is) crane powermax cam 224/232 @050, 540/560lift, 114lsa. this is probably all that is relevant. are my heads too small? what should i go with, i was thinking the edelbrock victor heads. would this be worth spending the money? or are the heads i have fine.. what about AFR? im looking for good power in the 2500 to 5800rpm range. currently its only making about 250rwhp on the dyno. thanks for reading.

![]() Well seeing that the truck is running now (and well broken-in) it's really kind of a moot point (especially since taxes just destroyed my savings) its not for towing or racing, or rocks, it's really just a build to go have some fun with in the sand, mud, dirt, hill climbs, desert, etc.
i really just decided the heads were too small because now that it's finished it really doesn't perform up to my expectations, and i guess i blame the heads. i probably should have gone with a big block. here's a video and a picture just for fun.
