[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4086040, member: 15054"] If it something you want and you have money to try it and see then to me it is worth it. When i was 19 i was porting cylinder heads. No flow bench but i would tweak/port the heads and install them and tune and run the vehicle then remove the heads and tweak them some more. I did a Nova for a buddy and it just would not pull up top like I thought it should. Tuned on it for 2 days and this engine was in the car for 3 days. I pulled the heads knowing good and well something needed tweaked. Pound some fuel wash on the chambers about 1" wide and kicked the chamber out there and that engine was totally different. Never quit pulling on the top end I was at 7600 RPM with a hydraulic flat tappet and it was still sinking you back in the seat. Not my ride so i shifted and told my buddy shift at no more than 7400 rpm. I did not get paid to do this it was all experimental. Worth it because now I know. [/QUOTE]
