Fix my W2s or go with RHS heads?

depending on your compression ratio, a replacement .557 cam + W2 port / valve repair would be noticeable

you may only need some valves not all valves but your current springs are probably tired anyways it would be a good time to re-cam/re-spring since you are redoing the heads anyways

a .590 cam would be a huge step

Kind of trying to avoid a total rebuild though that would ultimately be the best idea. I can replace the heads with the short block still in the car and without taking the timing cover off.

Was thinking about new springs but again, I'm getting into more cost. I'd also be getting retainers, keepers and seals. When I was working as a tech, we rebuilt heads all the time, all that stuff was the minimum on regular, every day production cars. The RHS heads come with all that so that's included in the total cost.

Again, I don't imagine I'd be giving up a whole lot with the RHS heads over the unported W2s. I know it's an apples to oranges comparison but for the power level I am at (425-450hp) I think it's a reasonable choice.

Still undecided but keep the info coming.
