<< Has anyone done any serious head work on the magnums? I haven't seen or

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? >>
I did my own heads with the help of the MP Head porting template set. Time
consuming but not too difficult but I don't know how much it helped. Info I
received after the porting was that porting is not a big deal unless you are
cranking higher rpm's 6500 and over. The more I thought about it the more
sense it made. I did several things at the same time so cannot evaluate each
item separately but I doubt it did a lot or would do alot with other mods and
the ability to run higher rpms ?
Oh and personally the NOS has it all over the heads, easier to do and
absolutely the most bang for the buck. I have been running the NOS for 4 or 5
years without problems and current best time on the juice is 12.6 @ 111.94.
You can grind them heads til your blue in the face and will not come anywhere
near them numbers.
