ponjohn, yes in winter; i'm not working this hard to only drive my **** when it's nice out; i dont live in arizona.
gearbanger, i never said a word about not being able to do that with 300plus heads; the flow number's quite irrelevant to what i wrote.
all i stated was what i personally need from a street car.
"cubic inches rule" - ummm...duh.
skip, fwiw, even the round port heads are too small by "modern standards".
look to ford's various lousy street hot v8 combos for evidence of why just making a port larger doesnt work.
boss 302? - ever actually driven one? - unbelievable dog.
but same displacement 302 chevy is pretty snappy on the street.
351c 4V - not till it gets well up in rpm is it fun
boss 429 - no power anywhere from stock; major mismatch head/cam package.
closer to home - ok, 396 chevy with rectangular heads - don't start working till 3000 rpm.
you can go too big on a head - it's just that pontiacs are so underheaded to begin with it's hard to do it.
i'm running 3.73's on my TA; big fun around town, hideous on the road.
