Yes but the difference in runner design is what sets those heads apart. People get way to focused on numbers.

no the difference in those heads are the valve postion.. the key it to have big valves but,you want these unshroaded without raising chamber size

I see, most people see big numbers and thats all they care about. Not taking into consideration that those numbers are achieved at like 0.800 valve lift. I can't get too technical on heads but putting world series SR heads on a stock 302 won't work.

Well, I would obviously put a bigger cam in there while the heads are off and all. I was thinking maybe an E cam, don't remember the specifics on it, but either that or like a TF stage 1 cam. Something with a decent duration and lift for street and road racing.

I THINK those are the cams I was looking at... don't know enough to order a custom one.

Runner still too big?
