Cylinder Head Porting and Power Production

rmchrgr...... I would invest in a dyno session at a different facility before spending a pile of money on new heads.

Maybe I’m thinking of a different situation, but I seem to recall you had mentioned some unwillingness to do much tuning at the facility where the motor was tested last time.

I remember thinking I def wouldn’t be taking those results as “gospel”.

Good memory Dwayne. Yeah, admittedly my dyno session was not the greatest. Part of it was my lack of experience and not knowing what to ask/do but from what I know now the operator was basically just mailing it in. I will be much better prepared next time.

So again, just because of some life stuff, (moving) the car has been in storage since 2017. Since it's been sitting so long, IMO the motor will need to be taken apart and checked, have not turned it over in over a year. While it's apart I'm going to re-check cam timing at a minimum. Might change the oil pump to a standard volume as well. Figured that if I have the thing apart new heads might wake it up. I do think there is some power to be had in bumping the compression up.

Other side of the coin is that I did want to run it the way it is and see what the actual results are, might surprise me!
