Next steps for more power - 318

Jeff... Absolutely NO MORE ANYTHING till you take it to the strip as it is!!!!! :D

Yes, there are much better heads. Many have put 2.02 340 heads on stock bore 318's with no issue. Your is .020 over..... But as you build more flow, you'll have to follow with more converter...

Couldn't agree with this more.

your combo need to go to the strip. It likely could be faster simply by tuning and sorting out your chassis.

Then heads and convertor.
