We have made 800++ to the tires on a few different vehicles using 317's with just a valve sprin upgrade.

I would reccomend a good set of valves at the least though at this point.

Hellbents, is that a street driven combo or just a drag car?

I'm making at least 900 at the motor on 15-16psi and will make more when I turn it up.

My car made 920 rwhp on a mustang dyno with a 408, bone stock 317 heads, stock valves, and upgraded springs.


The limit of the heads IMO will be the deck and the fact that a aftermarket head will seal with more horsepower.
