Not Ranked
I thought Jams was looking to step it up a notch, not go Pro Stock racing? Yes there are better base engines to start with but what he has is not a bad place to start with, IMHO! I think the internals are fine to 400-450 hp if the rpm is limited to 6000-6500. The Vortec heads are not going to win any dyno pull-offs but they can make a pretty strong street engine.
50-75+ hp gain and 1000 more usable rpm would be a big improvement. Going with a roller cam and staying with the Vortec heads would mean little or no low end torque loss. For about a $1,000.00 I think it would be a good upgrade and keep you interested for a year or two.
Al's 2 cents!
