340 High Compression Pistons

Sounds very similar to what we were talking about. Machinist was talking around a ..550-.600 cam and the lax heads from Hughes have a port job done to them. Did you run a factory rod and crank? I have a fresh 70 steel crank and am going to run a Manley or scat connecting rod. Car is also 4 speed with billet flywheel short tires and 3.55. How do you like the trw slugs? I've been told they're bullet proof just really heavy

Factory crank, scat rod. The Pistons are a bit heavy but I don't get my nuts out of joint on Bob weight like I used to. Not a big fan of your flywheel unless you mean billet aluminum and not steel. Steel will just beat the tire up.

Run a good damper. I used a Fluidamper on mine, but if you fear the rumors, use an Innovaters West and your crank will love you for it.

Your on the right track. As much lift as you can squeeze in there. I wanted to net .600 and made it. The W2 heads I have I want to net .750 but that's down the road a bit.
