Not to be silly but have you lined up head/exhaust/intake/valve cover gaskets to make sure bolt holes are in the right spots? :)

Do have a real question though... i saw a video saying how W2 heads are the greatest thing to ever exist and the upgraded exhaust port makes the world a happier place.. if the W2 port is so much better why do aftermarket guys use a stock shaped port?

Edelbrock heads and Speedmaster heads are and have always been built for the street, street strip guys which is smart. They want to pull off their stock exhaust and install them and easily bolt a header on. W2 heads wisely moved the bolt holes out so they had more room to shape a port. But how many sets of used W2 headers do you see out there. I would like to talk to this know it all and have him explain how I can run 9.30’s with Edelbrock heads maybe 9.20’s with Edelbrock heads. It’s not all about flow numbers on the exhaust side.
