Brainstorming Ideas for 400-450 hp 360 Build

Only because i can work the heads myself and measure the improvements on my own bench am i not hitting the full on agree button. lol
But i hear you... and if some dont even have a decent set to start with, especially...then why not buy aluminum. They're like 300 each anymore and even cheaper name heads do better .350-.550 flow than a stocker as cast.
Definitely agree the 430 hp is respectable.. yet no more room without substantial work to them or a better head.

Cannot disagree with anything you said.

I had the heads and didn't need to source a pair. I put a couple bucks in them to freshen them up, mainly updated springs and seal .

I was happy and the dyno tuner was impressed. That said, I was chasing a number and looking back with I would have stopped with what i had. I've since added an expensive set of CNC220 aluminum heads, a rather large custom solid flat cam, ported Victor 340 intake and a custom carb built by Thumper Carbs is being worked right now. The power increase is significant but so was the expense.
