Ok - time to call it a night.
I actually love the toyota gas pedal recall lol i mean yeah its bad that people got hurt, but this recall is making me so much freakin money. its the first recall i've ever done that actually pays more then fair for a tech to do the job. i made 13.1 hrs today and only worked a lil over 8
The fail is strong with those on the c10 board
me-I don't forsee tbi heads getting anywhere near 400. They're horrendous. You might be able to get away with 10:1 with a larger than stock cam and a nice cooling system/cold air for the engine to breathe with the improved chamber design. 11:1, yeah. With a 30/30 (254/254) cam
dude- I might have to bring you up to speed on this.
I can build an engine with 305 heads and make more than 400hp. They just wouldn't hold up for long because they are light duty. TBI heads are not.
This motor isn't stock though. It's a 350hp engine right now! It's bored .030 over, forged flat top pistons, double roller chain, edelbrock 2102 cam, comp magnum roller tip rockers, balanced, blueprinted, etc. The heads are the original 1976 heads though. They have 76cc combustion chambers (milled to approx 72cc), 1.94 intake valves, 1.50 exhaust valves, screw in rocker studs, and single Z28 valve springs good for up to .520 lift. The TBI heads have the same size valves but with a smaller 65cc combustion chamber. They also have slightly larger intake runners for better flow. They also have a raised valve cover seat to reduce oil leaks around valve cover gaskets as high rpm from a performance engine always creates more blowby. They are certainly improvements over gen1 cylinder heads and have no disadvantages other than they are not as good as a vortec head which has an even larger intake runner. They WILL make more power on this engine than the heads on it now and they're a heavy casting.
I don't follow what you're trying to say on the compression though. The engine is 10:1 right now with the old heads. With the TBI heads (going from a 72cc combustion chamber to a 65cc combustion chamber) it will be 11:1. The issue will be fuel, not cam. There isn't enough octance even in super unleaded to keep an engine with 11:1 compression from burning a hole in a valve or a piston regardless of what cam you're running
Thought it was against the laws of nature, but i loled and laffed
305 head and 400 horsepower should never be used in the same sentence
193 heads that he was so proud of, here's the flow numbers
