After doing up that 360 magnum, I'm in the process of doing up a sbc 400 .030", I'm getting the same advice from them, junk the stock smog heads & get some good ones like RHS/iron eagles, I guess it stands to reason, its all in the heads period, That explains why i ran so fast in that 360.

No doubt. A good solid foundation is the start. If the bottom end is good, then your good to go. Adjusting the compression ratio can be done only so much with the head chamber being smaller or larger. Need dependent of course. Then, give it a cam, good breathing heads and induction system, your off!

No wonder the guy is lost....Peak lift of stock heads,.480/490.Go for cam about. 500 lift,buy Hughes matching springs and retainers.Anything more is another 800 to 1600.FWIW, If I had the money,you are talking 60 to 80 h.p. minimum.(All under 6500,thus the war.....)
