You can achieve your goals with stock heads. No need for 6 bolts and all the other agrevation that seems to come with it.

I agree. If you where going go low 8s or 7s, the 6-bolt head and its aggravation would be the way to go.

Why do the world heads suck? I've seen plenty of combos that have made great power
