just a little bit of facts from my persomal combo. i ported a set of 915's my self with 2.02 valves{note home porting job like in a previous mopar muscle 360 build} Ran a small racer brown 520 lift solid around 10.8 compression,air gap intake,srp pistons, 3500 stall, 3.55 gear.that combo would run 12.1-12.2 all day in the quarter. wanting to go faster i ordered a set of stage 1 eddys that flowed 258cfm bolted them on with a victor intake and everything else the same GUESS WHAT 12.50's AND NO MORE. talk about a disapiontment for that much $. After talking to hughes engines they said they were very careful with there stage one heads, said if you had a set of good ported iron heads that the stage ones wouldn't help or slow you down down.needless to say i didn't send them back to the performance place i ordered the head and intake from originally, hughes engines got the call and done a stage three on the heads. guess what they finally work like there suppose to.im in the 11's on motor and very much streetable with a full weight duster. i just hate to see someone wanting a good street motor spend alot of$ for maybe not the best combo, combinations are everything. just wanted to share personal info that might help someone.

Again, just an opinion. But one can run in the 11s easy with minimal port work and really good valve job work with flat tops. I would ditch those way heavy battleships, install modern flat tops, have the heads done by a competant shop and maybe have the ports addressed. But that's me.
345man, good post. Nothing like been there done that.
