Once you figure out your peak rpm range (6000-6500?) then you can start to match the heads to that number.
That's exactly my thinking, sort out the RPM range (you hit the nail on the head at 6-6500) and build it out from there.

I have been bored out of my mind since coming to Houston in 2004...and so living only 60 miles from the world famous Texas World Speedway I want to be able to drive up, run the track and drive home.

Thanks for the feedback on this.
