Well in that case, Billy and my wife have at least one thing in common.

UPDATE! Well not much of an update 'cause I cant get the crank till Wednesday-ish. Anyhow, rings are here, block is honed, headbolt repaired, 1st set of rockers, springs, retainers and some misc stuff should all be here by Wednesday. 2nd set of rockers won't be here till next week. Probably can't see (groves) but here is a pic of a pin and a random head pic.

Hold on-you can't put a picture of the head on the flow bench and not share the data? I'am very interested in this information.

I don't know much about it, the idea is to check the head, get a new set of castings and start to work the new set. All I heard was blah blah blah port volume blah blah turbulance @ .xxx lift blah blah blah.

Ok---but theres people on here that can tell you what you have, and the potential for power. This is one area you should be focused on, this is were your power is going to come from. A stocker ALWAYS responds to a increase in flow, its not a Pro Stock, its always comes down to flow through the intake tract on a stocker. Any comments Dissident?

He told me that there was 100% potential to increase airflow with the valve job. He also told me what maximum horsepower possibility would be at with the current port and flow. He also said given my current circumstance, we should leave them alone so we aren't chasing our tail tuning with no time in reserve. He said they flowed really well at the lift numbers we're utilizing.
