Not my origional post but hey, whatever. At least this one was close.

Other than bumping up the compresion ratio, this is the best way to gaim
some power. I agree with you.

Well, come to find out, he has a 2H motor. Same as the RD motor with a
different exhaust manifold. (The same crappy c-clamp manifold as most of
the rest of us A1 cars.) So to begin with its got a 5 hp advantage. Then
add the P&P head, Brospeed header, 2-1/4 exhaust system, chip, cam and
its probably close to the 140 hp mark. Id guess that its probably more
like 130hp.

Ive done alot of Chevy V8 heads in my day. About a month ago I opened up
one of my stock intake manifolds to use the larger TB. Then I installed
it on my Roc. I had some sparetime so I opened up the manifold that was
on my car for my future dedicated DSP Roc. (I figure that if I stockpile
parts, I will have to get one sooner or later!)
 
I had a flow bench at the time but not anymore. Still, I know that I can
do a decent port job without a flow bench. it wouldnt be a crazy port and
polish job that flows 100% more than before like if I had a flow bench
but I can definately open up the ports a little to flow with good power.
You might want to get it done by someone better equipped with the right
tools than me. (Velocity sells P&P heads.)

Cpt Morgans... is that like, Rum??
Speak to me Brian! LOL!!
