I had Jim Valakeo put wedjes in my stock heads. I am running a dart intake with a Holley HP 950 and Ultradyne cam. also Lightning headers. I estimate the HP at about 600. Lots of other little things.

Tell me more about the flow on your heads and mods to the manifold! :D

I don't have the flow #'s anymore ( they were built 6 years ago) I plan on pulling the engines soon and plan on having Jim flow the heads again ( work has been done to them since the original work was done) The floor of the intake manifold has to be raised 1/2 inch to match the wedge in the head. The engines are highly reworked (blueprinted) VALAKO RACE HEADS (http://hometown.aol.com/valakoraceheads/indexhtmlvalakoraceheads.html)
