Default Question about heads....

The cam in my sig....how well do you think it will work with this set of heads?

What can i expect powerwise and performance wise?


will the compression ratio change effect how my car sounds and how quickly it revs up and down when throwing revs? (You know, the crispness of a high compression 383 or 408 when throwing revs)



thanks for the help.

cam is good to me, no bucking or surging unless really low in RPM's like 1500 or less in gear.

Yep you will be about 420-430 RWHP with a GOOD tune, might see a tad more in SOME cases, they are worth the $$ IMO
