Basic question here is when you have your heads done or you do them yourself in legal stock eliminator form (whatever that means in this day and age to you individually) what is the most important improvement in flow characteristics you are looking for? 80-90% of us have less than .500 lift, so are you looking to see the numbers from .400-500 to jump? Are you looking at port velocity? are you looking at average from specific lift values? something else?

This isn't really a discussion on "HOW TO GET THERE" but more with your end results compared to where the heads started stock what makes you decide the heads are going to make you .800 .900 1.00 under capable verse the stock castings?

I have not done an stock eliminator heads but looking at the rules, I do find it interesting what is being talking about. It looks to me the only area one can get creative is the valve job.
