Eddies Vs 915 J's

450hp. Eddys will get you that without any porting. Dont fully port the heads, just a good valve job and some minor clean-up. Spend your money wisely, put a good solid cam in it, with the right springs, good rocker arms and let er rip.

Thanks, I guess I haven't had a lot of faith in edelbrock's "out of the box" performance after reading so many "no gains" after swapping from iron heads.

I guess that's why i need the cam change to go with it!

would high 230's low 240's in duration @ .050 and .500"-.525" like you suggested earlier be potentially sufficient to reach the 450hp mark?

Also would 110-112 be too wide for the lobe separation? I'm trying to keep as much idle vacuum as i possibly can (would actually like to gain some over the current cam)

That's exactly the range of solid camshaft I've been looking into.

Would a 2.02" valve be sufficient or would a 2.08" be better?
