super commando LP Rockers?

I agree with what you are saying about the heads.

Since I started in 1980, MoPar guys have bitched about the cost of rockers. This I know. The W-2 head will out perform ANY 23* standard port chevy head to this day. The W-% head wil outperform any 23* chevy head in raised port configuration to this day. I wouldnt even consider a 400 CID small block without W-5 or better heads. Ever.

You have to spend some $$$$$ to make horsepower. It blows my mind why anyone would buy that bigmouth head. It will never run with a W-2. It still requires offset rockers. You have to move the pushrod. Its that simple.

Just more "trivia" there were also heads on the 80's called "super commandos" which were sbm also. I dont know much about them. But ya, these im talking about under the new pn are just edelbrocks with the intake valve moved enough to be a pain. And a valve big enough to disrupt airflow on a std or .030 bore block...and custom/rare rockers.

When I bought these, when I was younger and dumber, I was told by the "brilliant" mopar tech line, that these were better than the edelbrocks. And the best sb head out there. I simply didnt know then what I know now. I was newer to the industry, new to engine building, and probably barely 20 years old. Live and learn....and help your fabo buddies not make the same choice :)

Racers logic: not only can I tell you the right way to do it...I can tell you the 4 ways that Didnt work for me.
