^What he said plus Lloyd Elliot. People make crazy power from porting the stock castings, its the way to go. You can make over 400rwhp with the right setup on stock cubes.

My bud's 95 z with a 6 spd dynoed 430 RWHP and a great tq curve. Can't remember the damed tq #'s. He has a basic build up 396 with a non ported TB so I think the car may have some left in it.

Most shops go to 2.00/1.56 any bigger and they need new seats BUT both setups I linked too use 2.00/1.56 so no bigger is necessary.
