need some head work done

mud slinger · September 08, 2008, 11:44:19 PM

i have a set of trick flow heads on my 355 that is in a mudder. this is what the heads are of right know,
1.47 springs......64cc......195cc intake/72cc Exh runners.......2.02 intake/1.60 Exh valve.....540 max lift cam,
i just need some answers on what u guys think will be the best to and try and get more horse power out of them.( like what head work can still be done to these heads). some ppl said try get them ported and polish and see what that does.. but i just need some opions thanks

5-angle valve job and clean up bowls

bowl blending makes more power

you know it!!! i would port match the intake to heads and headers to exhaust also

what pistons are you running and what compression ratio? u can have the bowls blended and the runners ported and polished. but don't over do it. if you have a mild engine, you can actually flow too much air for it. you will loose port velocity if you go too big for the motor.

i have flat top speed pro pistons and 9:5 or closer to 10:1 compression

what is bowl blending

2000silverado · September 10, 2008, 01:26:22 AM

the "bowl" underneath the valve face. it usually has rough machining marks that can be "blended" so air can flow better.

What are you running for a cam and what intake?

mud slinger · September 10, 2008, 09:48:32 PM

we have the rpm performer intake and cam and the cam is 488/510 lift. that is good for 6500 rpm. i just want to get more rpm out of this motor. (like around 7000)
We want to get a different intake and cam, we want to go to a roller cam and lifters because when we have this tore apart we should get some head work done to.

I would go with a maybe a Stealth or a air gap intake, get your compression up if you can by cutting the heads or decking the block depending on where your pistons are at now and if you have it that far apart. Put a mechanical roller in it and it should rock.

what do u think about the head work, go with what those guys said above us.

If it is in the budget, some porting and a good valve job would be worthwhile but it gets exspensive. I would send them somewhere like (TEA) Total Engine Airflow if you chose to go that route.
