Default PP S2 64cc or PP S2 62cc

This is my dilema. These heads will be going in with a T-rex cam on a stock bottom end. I can pick up a set of used S2 heads with 64cc for about $950 shipped. However, it was recommended to me to go with 62cc with a .040 gasket, which new would end up costing me $1300 plus shipping. Which direction should I go? Is a 62cc going to make a huge difference in performance over a 64cc?

are you gonna flycut? 62cc, .040 with a trex sounds iffy on clearance. to answer your question, I wouldnt lose any sleep picking the 64cc over 62 cc.

A shop will be doing the install, so if flycutting is needed, I guess it will be done. So you think I should just say screw it and get the 64cc ones and save $350+??

5w20, that signature is tasteless. God forbid that your child should undergo such a devastating disorder.
