Miles, do you like the heads or are you regretting buying them. Did you buy them ready to bolt em on?
Considering I bought them fully Re-machined for a great price, I'm happy as hell I bought them. for the price vs power, they as the best investment I've made so far. And from the research I did before purchasing them, they make better power on 302's than the GT40s. The big thing that sways guys from them is the plug angle. I have 1.7 roller rockers now, with the cam Advanced 4 degrees. I would love to see what a 1.8 on the exhaust side with the cam retarded a few degrees would do to the car. The other limiting factor is the stock rev limiter, As of now my car continues to pull hard to the limiter, If I could remove it I'm sure I could pull a better time.
Also, those times were with a stock geared rearend, driveshaft, pulleys, air intake (with the crinkle intake tube), mechanical fan, stock injectors and maf. With a 1.85 short time and a 13.6 1/4. Its by far from fast, but I accept that as a respectable budget car. If someone disagrees please say so, I'm always looking to improve with what I have and by no means think I'm a big hitter with these mods.
