Re: Need Advice.....Marv? Super73?
LOL at getting yelled at. To me mentioning the 305 heads on a 350 are very similar to the finger-nails on the chalk-board thing,, or.... my wife in a full PMS screeeeech!!

 I understand what you are saying about the 305 heads and I can't agree more (I've obviously seen the effect first hand). The main reason I put them on was for the compression and the torque. But stuffing 6" rods in it then toping it off with 305 heads just doesn't work and even I can say that it kind of defeats the purpose to put in those rods.So with that aside I will say, yes its was a terrible move, but thats why I'm going to install the heads that I originally based the engine off of. But before I did I wanted to make sure that I had input and (maybe??) some approval from those that have more experience with heads and high RPM's. Thomas |

Re: Need Advice.....Marv? Super73?
305 heads on a 350 is kind of like unplugging 2 ignition wires and expecting a good result.Having more compression means NOTHING when the heads cant flow any air, Its definately counter-productive. Get some heads on there. Dump that performer cam for something more modern. Look at either the comp xe line or the lunati voodoo line. The edelbrock cams are just reboxed generic grinds and while they work well your paying an extra 100 bucks to have them show up in a box that says edelbrock on it. Decide on what you can afford for heads then we can steer you right on a cam.
