@usnavyseals99 The idle was set to high is why either that or he didn't have a vacuum line connected causing it to suck in more air and raise the idle

@burnoutking1971 You can run more compression with aluminium heads compared to cast iron,but it's not some huge amount.Just the weight savings is good,then Smokey Yunic recommended a product in his book to coat the heads waterpassages so they don't lose so much heat energy.All these new coatings will also bring the power back up to iron head level,coatings for the combustion chambers,etc.!

@72bigblockmonte Thanks I might check out the Patriot heads, I would have to change the springs anyway to match the cam and have the shop give them a once over just to make sure the seats are good etc. I think new amuminum heads will out flow any old square port head from back in the day. Someone told me you could run a little more compression on the street too because the alm. heads dissapate heat better. Of course in my area 94 is getting hard to find, all the Sunoco' are gone, now is Petro C

@burnoutking1971 I have heard nothing but bad about those procomp heads.They are offshore(china)manufactured,I'­ve heard the castings are poor,all the valves,springs,retainers are cheap.The Patriot heads are fairly inexspensive and I've heard lots of good.I think there was an issue a few years ago with patriot,but they resolved it.I have a new set of springs for my patriots,but that's all I'm changing.The castings are really nice.

@burnoutking1971 The 548 was built by a local performance shop,it's a callies billet crank with oliver rods,plus a overbore from a freshening.The block is a dart block.Yes,roller cams and all the paraphenalia is expensive but as they say,so much area under the curve!

[burnoutking1971]

@72bigblockmonte Honestly, I will never buy another bbc roller cam again, really expencive, the reg flat tappet is 1/3 the price. then spend the extra money on that new dist. that msd has, you can adjust the curve easily and no box to mount as well. hey where did you get the 548 ci? is that an aftermarket block with a stroker kit? I was looking into merlin blocks and short blocks from a few different companies like Bill Mitchell

@72bigblockmonte that seemed to happen to all my cars, one thing leads to another nex thing you know you have built another saturday night special! I would love to do a nice sbd and richmond in my 81 Z28 the 4 speed in that car is ok but lacks a little on the highway. the current smog 350 sucks, pretty boaring. I was wondering about the pro comp bbc heads for a buget build but I dont know anyone who has tried them.
