Has anyone done any serious head work on the magnums? I haven't seen or
heard of it yet. When I bought my truck the goal was mid 13's without going
into the motor. Now I've got that goal out of the way and want to go further
so I'm thinking cam and a good set of heads. The cams are plentiful but I'm
not sure how our heads will take to the port and polish work or if someone
makes an aftermarket set. Anyone got any info?
