Wow. Never did I say I wanted 600HP. All I wanted is to get the most out of the engine that I could. I went to the dyno and didn't really worry about 560 horsepower.........my issue was I wanted more torque to go along with that 560 horsepower.
Also, Tom IS a nice guy. When I handed him my heads I told him I'm pretty sure they're junk and needed to know for sure. I need good solid info. He checked em over and told me they'll make a lot more power than my dyno sheets show. All I need is the right cam. He NEVER said they were the best thing since sliced bread. He said they're fine to run.
Now someone mentioned Shady Dells flow numbers...........there's a reason his operation is called SHADY dell. I'd never say that without firsthand knowledge either.
Right now they are the heads I have. I'm gonna get them to work. I'm not throwing them in the garbage can yet. Yeah they were free, but I paid for the CNC work.
I guess if they never totally work out, I'll just have to keep the 540 HP slug that's in the car now, and have a spare shortblock instead of a spare engine.
Ya know this thread went a long way as a "let's help this guy out" before it turned to a "let's bash his ****". I was really enjoying it and learning some new things.
Kinda disappointed now.....
