I'm going to use either a Dart or Boss big bore 302 stroked to a 363.

.
just curious, about how much power are you looking for and what do you mean by "make power more easily?

are you using a carb?

supercharger?

nitrous?

the afr' 205's flow around as much and you can make over 600 hp with them on a 363 with just a carb if you run enough compression and they will cost you far less . . yiu can even go afr 215 which outflow the kaase heads by a wide margin . . $1900.00 . . you also have to buy special valve covers for the p-38 heads so it eliminates a choice of covers.

trick flow 11r 205 heads, small diameter valve springs . . $2000.

the edelbrock victor junior heads will also make good power . . $1650.

Going 9.5:1 compression then eventually a turbo. The P38s have higher flow velocity than the other which is better for a turbo car.

actually afr and trick flow 11r heads have more flow than the kaase heads and there is such a thing as too big of a head.

Yes, they flow more, but it's more about velocity with a turbo. This isn't the first turbo car I have built, it's just going to take the longest.

HUH? It'a always about the volume of air. Even with turbo builds. It's not about how fast you can shove air into a cylinder. It's about shoving the most (volume) air and fuel into a cylinder.
