I plan on doing a cam swap here shortly but i kinda want to do it reverse of what alot of these guys do.

*cough* Marcin *cough*

I was planning on just pulling off the heads and having them ported and polished for right now. Until i buy some lifters springs and rr's.

Ive just never seen anyone with ported heads on a stock cam. I dont figure it could do anything but help, but hey you never know.

Thanks alot!

It won't hurt a thing. Go for it. A guy in our club gained 20 hp at the wheels just by port-matching and smoothing out the ports with a stock cam car on the dyno.

Not at all, unless the heads are junk. You could see a decent power gain from a good set of ported heads, and at least you'd know that you're gonna fly when you get a cam.

A friend of mine ran a 12.44 on just stock casting stage 3 ported heads. Porting heads is the best bang for the buck.

thats what i got right now

heads flow 275I/214E
stock cam

pulled my frined who runs 13.1 by 3 car lengths.
feels alot faster then then with stock heads( i ran 13.0 with stock heads)




thinking 12.5s and 350 ish RWHP, just make sure low lift numbers are good

I think i remember some guy putting down 330rwhp with heads on a stock cam car.

Hrm... as mentioned, isnt really going to hurt, but I don't see the point if you're spending that kind of $ and time on something in only doing it halfway

Save yer $, you'll be alot happier when you go sliding down the road with 360+rw as opposed to only picking up 30rw over boltons .

And this is where reading comprehension comes into play...


I am going further with my mods soon. Im just going to have them ported for the time being. Since i have the money to do them and the car is sitting. I really just dont want to have a huge cam in it while its the only car im driving for the moment.

Not quite, you never gave a timeframe, nor did ya say you didn't want to go with a cam instead

i, too, intend to go with ported heads and a cam. Can't reallg do a cam yet because I still have to drive the car back and forth to NJ othree more times and I don't want a cc306 in there when I do it! Besides it'll never pass NJ emissions, by the time my car has made its last trip to NJ, my family will have moved to Fl and I'll be regestering the car here.

Though im trying to make sense of your sentence with the double negatives. Im relatively certain i did say i plan on a cam swap here shortly.

As in the next month 2 at the most

I just said i still needed some lifters and misc stuff before i installed it. That and some moeny in pocket for a new rear-end

Oof, grammar eh? Went for the throat there

I believe the signature applies about this time, do you think?

Later man, im off to go relax a little.

HAHAHAH......Phil ya killin me!

I agree though....if your gonna do the cam swap in a couple of months, why not just do it all at once? DUnno why you'd wanna go in there twice in a as many months. Do a search on OIL's and stuff. Patman and the rest of the oil gurus talk about how guys who do cam swaps endup spinning bearings after the swap. But not due to the cam but from dirt and stuff getting into the motor. Jsut something to think about.
