    Is the improvements to the new LA heads, enough to not reproduce the W-2 head anymore

    Ported aluminum Eddy's, sold 'em to a member here.. They " flowed 280 ,with the stock valve job" I considered fair. ( Thank you,fellow FABO member..) I always loved the immediate response the W-2 's worked with deep gears (& converters) hammered with.. When I built my 408,( mentally) Spec's...

    Anyone do a straight across swap,from ported factory heads,to worked W-2's?

    Just something, I have never seen. If you went W-2's,of course you made other changes. Was it worth, the effort. Still feel a W2 design, is worth it. Post responses here,I like all feedback.....

    How did you learn,to tame big cams on the street?....

    Someone posted a first timer's cam ,recommendation thread. I didn't really agree,with some of the posts(you decide). I threw the biggest cam(Crane/Summit hydraulic 238/248 @ .050,.540 lift) in my 396 . Idled awful,fouled plugs. Was a smog tech at the time. It kicked my ***. Someone threw me...

    Head flow,vs. cam lift?......

    A lot of Super Stock guys,used to/still do run higher lift cams,on stock blueprinted heads.Obviously, the ramps are quicker,more aggressive.Obviously,a shorter camshaft life.
