I beleive it will make more torque.
I ALMOST did it, but actually 'I' was the deciding factor not to.......
Cause it would be a better investment to throw some j heads on my 390 and loose the mismatched 302 heads with the crummy port work I did, probably ruined them too....
A while later I got rid of the hyd lifters anyway..... I shoulda/coulda/but didnt!
ISKY is great about grinding cams. Iguess it wont hurt anything. Could you tell the difference in the FE ford sound?
