again do we really think the head work and valve job are needed on a brand new set of heads... i mean they already have a 2.02 valves? i could see the port and polish producing a slight power/flow increase...but that seems like hundreds of dollars for minimal gains. i could be wrong...but its not like im running cast mid 80's smog heads that dont flow?

Oh man, that's why your stuff doesn't run what you think it should. All the power is made in the heads and intake system. An engine is an air pump and the more air you can pump through it the more power it will produce. Look at my sig, that's a stock 360 block, stock crank and stock rods with hypereutectic pistons. It's all junk except for the heads and intake.
