MSTANG said:Honestly I would just have some one do some bowl work on them & throw in some 2.02 valves. The port volumes are more than adequate to flow pretty well they just need some bowl/seat work with the larger valves. I spoke to Ed Curtis about my heads (performers with 2.02's installed) & the first thing he told me was he liked the edelbrocks but really need 2.02's to flow some good numbers.
The springs are the same on the performer & the performer RPM heads so it's really a matter of having some one cut the seats & you can swap the valves yourself.

CobraGT87 said:Well said Mike. Thats exactly what I had done to my Edel heads this last time when I had them in the shop for the machined spring seat cup install.
You know the pistons I run, so like you, lift & overlap will never be an issue for me
Take Care,
Scott
MSTANG said:Hey there Boss man, I'm just wondering when I put some boost on it if I'm going to hole or shatter the pistons since I cut em so deep
Time will tell!
MSTANG said:Well I'm the one that cut themwith an Isky fly cutter. I had .250 clearence with the .510 lift so doing the math it woks out to right around .650. I'd never run a cam that big though.
As far as how much material is left? I have NO idea , but it does hold cyl pressure LoL
MSTANG said:Well what can I say I had three day's to yank the whole motor put on new:
Pan
Timing set
Front & Rear Seals
Cam
Roller rockers
Heads
Fly cutting the pistons
I had to travel to hanover PA to get head gaskets & down to
Crofton MD to get the heads. Then after I put the cam in I figured out
I put it in 180* out thanks to Rick 91GT(meaning he figured it out for me not that it was his fault).
So when I hit it with the cutter I kinda went by memory on how the valve reliefs looked on aftermarket pistons, to make sure I had enough clearence.
I think your right about putting the huffer on these pistons, kind of akin to leaving your kids with a crack head. With the 140,000 miles that are on this motor now I'd have to do a rebuild(not in the budget) & seriously doubt I'd get away with honing it & tossing in new pistons.
