New heads?

Just curious.... on what are you basing your HP number? I'd guess you have the J heads ported some to get to 385....I ask because if you want more and are starting at a true 385, then you're gonna want to step

  1. Indy with 2.02" (Indy's are iron) and Edelbrock Performers are the next likely step up with rocker's similar to what you have.
  2. Then heads like the W series (iron) and Edelbrock Victors.
You can look at the Hughes site and see a lot of different flow tables for different SBM heads to get an idea of where these are in the 'pecking order' of flow. This is for comparison.... I would not take the HP number presented there as gospel.
Stock factory valve job 2.02 j heads are worth 400 hp no problem. These heads he has , well lets hear the valve size and who did the porting along with numbers..m
