So I'm no where near ready to do this, However thought I'd research now while in the body work stage. I have a 408 stroker for my dart that is 10:1 KB forged pistons, scat rods edelbrock heads (right out of the box) with a set of comp roller rockers and a comp cam .545 int/.545 exh &241 int/ 247 exh duration @.050 110 degree lobe sep.(Its one of those blueprint motors if you have seen my other posts on the issues I had with it breaking up over the summer.)Its backed by a 727 built by Coan with a 10" coan 3500 conveter and 3.55 gears. The car went 12.33 @106 with issues and crap slicks, my goal is 11.99 @110ish, With that said my questions are I'd like to go with a bigger cam (I think) If you agree what do you recommend? also I've picked up a M-1 single plane manifold and plan on porting both the intake and the heads. I've ported several sets of cast heads at home and with the price for a pro to do them I'm considering doing these my self. Now I know I wont be able to do a pro cnc job, but I'm figuring every little bit helps, What do you guys recommend and if I do them are there any particular tricks or concerns with edelbrock heads to watch for when I do them? Any help would be appreciated thanks PETE
