The "out of the box" assembled 1.92" R/T heads will outflow any ported
factory head. You don't need 2.02's for the street unless you've got
Nitrous, Cam, Supercharger, gears, and tq converter (or a combination of
those) along with them.

Subject: DML: R/T heads????? kinda long

Alright im not totally happy with the performance of my truck, I have
been throwing around the idea of trying to get a 408 and using some of
my current parts. Thats kinda pricey and a lil more involved, and I
already have a good lump in this truck as is. Right now the bottom end
of my truck is mostly stock except the pistons.

SO heres where I start to ask my question...I have the stock heads on my
motor, they just have a basic port and polish, the 1.6RR's and heavier
springs. The valves are stock. Would switching over to the R/T heads be
a better investment??? and if id DO what size valves, I see KRC is
having a special on the R/T heads with either 1.92's or 2.02's...
IM wondering if Im out flowing my current head setup?? if that makes
since..

Sorry this was so long and drawn out, thanks for any input you guys and
gals have ..
