Default Gunner save your money

Gunner Call Keith Craft, Tom L. or Barry R and get a set of heads with the 2.19" better valves and a CNC port job. Stage 2 or 3. 2.09 heads are replacement heads for stock motors. Yes some guys race them with alot of custom parts. Do it once and forgetaboutit. This will save you money in the long run. Ferra valves are better than the Edelbrock ones too. You can also have 11/32" valves installed instead of 3/8" ones and get a little more flow out of the head, lighten the valve train a little and get a couple more 100 rpm before float problems start. Compare a set of heads that are bare blanks with the needed parts to complete one with all the machine work done. The other thing is to send out the intake manifold to Joe Craine to have it ported and flowed balanced for motor. There are some manifold that have between a 10-30 cfm differents in flow on each port. This takes about a week and is the BEST money you can spend. He gets the ports to flow between 3-5 cfm from high to low. This helps to balance out the motor and have no leak cylinders from a/f mixture. Rick L. Ps you want the valve springs to match the camshaft in the motor
