Any chance of every hitting the 500 range with those heads and a cam?

For $600.00 more you could of got a set from t.e.a and had them hand finished for better results. A good set of heads is worth a few extra bucks,it's where the power is.
GRYGNU-A 7.5 pushrod does not always work. I now have the packagefrom vengeance. t.f.s 235 hads,custom cam,fast 102mm,yella terras. A 7.5 push rod held the valves open and i had no compression. We needed a 7.45 after a push rod checker was used.

IMO...stay away for the Harlem Sharp's...they have been know to cause valve float with the more agressive cams. They are HEAVY on the tip.They work fine in some set-ups and some they don't.
