I think you'd be happier with a 503 or a custom grind with more agressive lobes than the 306 has.


If it were me, I'd have the heads ported while they're off and really make the most of the cam install
At the very least, make sure they are cleaned and checked for cracks/warping before you reinstall.
You don't want to have to do it all over again next weekend.
