Decent Cylinder Head Question
Hey guys,
I have a 68 Camaro with a basically stock 454 .30 over, Flat top pistons and stock heads Mild Hyd Flat tappet Cam, Edelbrock AirGap intake and Holley 4150- 750Cfm DP carb as well as a MSD Ignition and long tube headers.
It has 12 bolt posi 373 gear and a M21 Muncie 4 Speed.
Car runs good but just seems torquey but lazy.... I think a good set of heads would really wake this motor up!
Since it has flat pistons and stock heads I think I prolly get a head with a small cc maybe 110? that will bump compression up a bit...
All I'm doing with this is cruise and jump on it ocassionally and rev limter is set at 5800RPM
Do I need to buy the best heads or are some of these cheaper heads fine for what I want...? Or do I still need to pay 2200.00 for Edelbrock or Trickflow...etc
Like these on EBay:
Big Block BBC Chevy 300cc Oval Port Aluminum Heads Assembled BBC Oval 272 | eBay
Is Anyone running Procomp Heads? any issues?
here is the Head Edelbrock recommened... but pricey
Edelbrock Performer RPM 454-O High-Compression Cylinder Heads 60439 - Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing
Any Head Suggestions?
And whatkind of HP should I expect out of a head upgreade? I was hoping to be high 400s or even 500? is that achievable with my set up?
Thanks
