so yes,have blueprinted half a dozen 400's,the current one in my 67 coronet 2-door sedan,was 8.24 to 1 corrected,static compression. after installing .020 shim gaskets,and a set of untouched 516's, it is a correct 9.55 to 1.

"Corrected"? There's nuthin to "correct" for. Static compression ratio is a physical measurement. Either you have "X" compression ratio, or you don't. It's that simple. Sorry, but either you didn't know what you were doin or you're a liar. I'm leain toward the latter. No 400 EVER blueprinted at 8.2:1 from the factory. NONE. Get your nose out of the online spec book and stop sp[ewin crap because you're WRONG.

not every engine will be the same as much as chrysler varied, nor was i saying you are going to build a world turner with it, but they sure do a good job of waking up these supposed "boat anchor" motors that everyone wants to dismiss.

Well sure. Those heads are capable of raising compression. More compression equals more power. They don't raise compression anywhere near what you think. PERIOD.

as stated,a cheap upgrade, individual results will vary. for the record,without the "so and so racin" experts,the magazine gurus,and other assorted know-it-alls, my coronets combo, low-mile 74 400, unported or cut,stock valve 516's,performer RPM,750 holley,comp XE268,cheapie summit headers,2 1/2" duals,h-pipe,40 series flows,727 with 2400 converter,8 3/4 with 3.55's,running on 235/60/15 BFG drag radials,3600 lb. car.over 75 timeslips, ranging from 12.94 to 13.10.over 3 years of running with out as much as a re-tune.
sure is a good thing these heads don't work.......
and, whole engine cost less to build than just a set of stealh heads...............

It could do that with a stock compression 400 with the right bolt ons. Stop spewin. It's not workin for you, especially when it's WRONG.

Oh and if you wanna keep up the stupidness, start another thread. This is the for sale section. Don't know why I let you suck me in this far with your "expertness".
