Just a note. My car is at MTI right now getting MTI S2 heads/ X1 cam and a whole lot of stuff. Josh is doing it. My heads flowed 290 which is really good. You can overflow your heads if your bottom-end is not built for it.Josh sayed build your heads to match your bottom. Don`t try to get flow numbers for bragging rights. Mine are perfect for a stock bottom. You could go with a stroker and they will work. I believe it`s another 25rwhp with S3 heads, maybe alittle more. It`s up to you. For the money get S2 and spray it, I am hehe! Good luck!

I'm hoping for 450 with my MAF and TB back on and some tuning.

The heads flowed 342/237 @ .600
