Otherwise in an out of stock application or anything that isn't trying to max you mpg on the street the heads are pretty much worthless.

So vortechs and zz4 l98 heads are about the best in terms of factory performance and price. The l98 head would be the best with the 58cc chamber and 175cc runners

I am absolutely not going to tear the top end back off this motor. I work full time, and am a full time college student. It took me a week to get it back together, all the while riding my Honda XR400 to work and school. Not happening. If I am stuck with what I have, I will just deal with it. I am not looking for a race motor, just a solid truck motor. I agree, vortecs or L98s would have been a better choice.....for more money. If money were no object, I would have just swapped in a 6.0/4l80e and associated electronics and left it stock, but I built it with what I could get, for a price I was willing to pay, with a realistic power goal in mind. I just don't think it feels like it should.
