Default Stock Head Max POWER?!?

How much power can a set of max ported heads support? So much porting they had to have epoxy or something to hold things together.

Looking at a rear mount with like 20psi!

It also have a edelbrock intake

The cam is like a 224/224 or something odd

Taking every last bit of metal out of the head isn't going to be what you want to do.

But stock heads with the right work have supported 530+rwhp N/A through a stalled auto and a 9". So I'm guessing with a lighter rear end and a T56 you could probably get 550-600rwhp out of a set of stock ported heads N/A if you really pushed it. With boost, who knows. You could get quite a bit of power.

Flat black said 550rwhp na. With a 20lbs of boost you could be over 700rwhp. A good stock ported head will support 80% of most builds. A rear mount and 224 cam wont come close to maxing them out.

So if these are LE heads, I can make more than 1000rwhp?

Its part of your rehabilitation since you must have made a provocative post or pissed a mod off. At least said mod did not force your avatar to show a scantally clad Richard Simmons wearing a fig-leaf.

Ask SS RRR how to get back in the mods good graces. Umm.....scratch that thought.
