Ok... let me finish what i was trying to say in the first place... ok... the Windsor Sr.'s are a little big IMO. I thought that i would want to go with the large aftermarket heads as well... but destiny didn't allow that... so i'm stuck with ported/chevy valve '65 289 heads. Now... my bro has the edelbrock torquer cam/stealth intake/ and ported windsor jr. heads. You would think that his combo would really haul as$... and it does! But, IMO a '65 falcon should pull much harder then a '63 meteor due to the weight factor. But because i have those nice squinted chambers and medium sized 1.84i 1.50e valves, my car has a hellish mid range. Which IMO from driving both cars, seems to be more important then an awesome top end. His combo doesn't start really pulling until 4K... mine starts at about 3500. true, his car PROBABLY is faster, but not by much and not until after those stoplights have come and gone! So... if you want a bada$$ racer, go with the big heads and cam, but for street stomping and driving, go sligtly conservative - which is realitive - (especially if you asked my father about this subject)
