1. Do a search (Google, Yahoo, etc) for "cylinder heads velocity", "performance cylinder heads selection".
2. Do a search (Google, Yahoo, etc) for "performance camshaft", "performance camshaft selection criteria", "custom cams".
3. Do a search (Google, Yahoo, etc) for ANY other performance related topic..... suspension, gears, transmissions, etc, etc.
There is one trend no one looks at.......... they are all evaluated, tested, compared......but most important.........concluded on.... "island style"...... or separate, disassociated from its landlord = the whole combo.
A heads article w/out mention of the camshaft, intake, carburetor or FI, exhaust, etc, etc............ setup... is not worth the ink & paper or bandwidth, to make it public.........
Are these "reliable" evaluations?
um....
Just a thought........

im not talking about magazine articles. And I dont really give a crap about flow numbers ether. Im just saying it doesn't make sense.
I like you man, your my little buddy. But dont let thouse old goat's pull the wool over your eyes.
those combo's, those guys over there leave out key elements to some of those builds.
If a pair of fast as cast, or 190-205cc head, a custom cam, and a spyder intake was all it took for a 302 to run basement 11's it wouldn't be this **** it is like where everyone is trying crazy combo's trying to find something that works. everyone would have the same build.

Good luck finishing this build. I'am waiting to see if you have any problems with the new alternator bracket. I want to be rid of the factory bracket and tensioner and also want power steering, no smog or AC. Hopefully I can learn a thing or two.

robert, we've listened to each other for years and chit chatted here and there. i really wish you'd open your mind a bit to a new concept vs what you've been listening to for years on here as well as other places.
oh and fyi....i'll be having a surprise here soon to add towards my build

We shall see. and what other surprise could you have? you already got a wild combo, and spray, what else you gonna do?
got ahold of my buddy that introduced me to this engine builder guy. He said he is currently at his farm in Nebraska for a emergency or something........ I didn't even know he had a damn farm. (makes scene why all his vehicles have "farm" tags now.)
so more then likely he ran out there in a hurry, and has NO reception for his cellphone...... f-ing great. hopefully he comes back soon...
otherwise here in about 2 weeks when my taxes come, its gonna be big heads, and switching this **** up.
