A small amount can be gained too, by "unshrouding" the intake valve to the gasket. We have a dedicated "Mira" cutter set to the size, but most decent shops have one. A radius of at least .125" should be used (all the way down to the seat). You'll gain another 2-3 CCs, and maybe 5 CFM. Worth it.

Agreed, XE274H is not a good choice. With those heads, you really need at least [email protected] to make them "work". XE284H fits in the parametric range, but may also be "too fast" for the compression. If you must stay with the flat tappet, I'd prefer something in a symmetric lobe solid. 236/[email protected], maybe .550-.570 lift would do the trick. We get "custom" grinds all the time. No big deal.

FWIW

Jim

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
