Alright...2 years off and I'm itching to get back into the car except it sits in a few different pieces right now.
I had what felt like power loss (gradually) since it was rebuilt and didn't like what was happening, so I decided that I was going to do something about my stock heads to try and open things up. After taking the heads off I noticed a few cylinders had some mild vertical scuffing on the lateral walls...which will need to be addressed.
But to the main questions. I run the stock irons, but had them fitted with T&D rr's and use the GN1 valve covers. So, here it goes.
1. Do I have everything needed if I want to buy the aluminum heads and skip the iron porting
2. Since I don't plan on having a car that runs 9s, should I just port the irons and call it good. If so, what valve changes should be made (searching revealed many things, but nothing concise) and what numbers should I expect stock versus ported.
It seems to be a common question on the board concerning what way to go, but I'm just asking for some help with costs....direction will hopefully come from the decision fairy and make my life easier
Thanks
