the angle of the intake and exhaust valves in relation to the head's deck surface is smaller than stock. a stock 350's heads are 23-degree. this basically allows you to have a higher compression ratio without going to domed pistons. from what i've heard, these heads give alot more power.

a drawback is you have to buy a special intake manifold to match the heads

the site doesnt give any more detailed information about the engine itself, so your guess is as good as mine about how they are getting so much power... does anyone else know any details about this engine?

I know the kids won't agree, but I think it would be much more beautiful without those oversize, ugly a-- wheels.!
Give me a nice set of Corvette 15" rallys w/interceptor caps!! Old technology, I know, but class will prevail!

That is a super nice truck. I agree that a more stock looling wheel package would suit me better....

Believe it or not, there is a truck that looks the exact same at Avondale Chrysler in Arizona. In the window it says it is a Barrett Jackson truck. I wonder if it is the same?

Now thats one nice truck, but I gotta agree with the rest of the guys, I just hate big @$$ wheels like that.. they look great on a vette, because the car is designed with big @$$ wheels in mind...but come on man! They look downright goofy on our trucks!!

wheels

Why so negative about the wheels?It's a classic 5 spoke style.
The wheels look great.
Looks is one thing but ride quality is another.IMO
