You should be able to run 5 lbs without any problem as long as you make sure you arent detonating and or running lean and run conservative timing and it will probably surprise you how much more power it will add. I wouldnt be too concerned about exhaust ports, ect for street use. If you were out to extract every bit of power for a drag car then yes but for a cruiser it will work fine. I am running stock cast iron oval port heads and they work great.

Thanks! And what are some practical things i could do to prevent detonation? I know the option of computers are out there but it seems like to much trouble to start putting a computer on the truck and so on...
