I know this is kinda tech but its geared more towards my truck so I posted it here. I am in the process of buying parts for my truck to tear it down and hopefully fix the ongoing misfire issue it has. One of the problem areas of Dodges 2nd Gen Rams at least are ****ty heads. They have a tendency to crack. This being said I am replacing them. I am also replacing my plenum gasket, cam (most likely), theromstat, Timing chain, and maybe water pump haven't decided yet but most people say you should.
Anyway heres where my question is. I had it all planed out to buy a set of heads. They are EQ Magnums with a 62 CC, 1.920 intake valve and 1.625 exhaust valve.
I emailed a company asking for a cam recommendation and he started talking bad about the heads and started talking up the Edelbrock heads that are Chamber Size 58cc, Intake Port Size 176cc, Valve Sizes (in/ex) 2.02"/1.60".
Now I realize the ones I wanted have a bit smaller intake valve size but is it really enough to cause a bit of difference?
I'm not looking for a drag truck. I just want a little added HP and TQ. I drive this thing in the snow. I don't need it to be crazy fast ya know.
The EQ's cost $350 a head and $25 shipping this is with valves and springs and WILL pass emissions. I have already talked to them and they will upgrade the springs based on my cam specs if need be.
The Edelbrocks through summit are 660 a head for a bare head. On Edelbrocks ite it says their heads are not for emission controled vehicules. IDK what the guy I emailed charges for them but i doubt its much different then summit.
So what are your thoughts?
