400 Non Stroker Build

I’m assuming it would be better to run the Stealth heads over 906/452 heads? The 906/452 would have 2.08 intake where the Stealths come with a 2.14 I believe plus there aluminum and probably flow better.
Depends on how much more camshaft you out into it. Here’s the thing, head vs head the numbers favor the aluminum head. On low lifts, it’s not a huge deal, but yes there’s power to be made, not much. Add duration to any head and the power goes up. Back to the head itself, the aluminum will start making more since the flow rate is higher, but again, unless there is a not meaningful amount of duration added, the gain is low but still expanding at a greater distance on the dyno read out. Add more lift to get into the higher flow rates where the flow differences really start to show and then the power divide really starts to increase.

Basically, if your not taking advantage of the heads capabilities, your wasting time, effort and money. You can do really well with a well prepped iron head. Do not be fooled otherwise. If you’d going to go aluminum, take advantage of it!
