Title: Head choice
Post by: jamiep_jamiep on January 07, 2009, 11:01:02 am
Hi, my 2276 has come apart for a rebuild, it currently runs the following config:
2276, 42 x 37 044 round ports, webcam 86c, 10.5:1 CR, 48IDF's.

I've since sold the IDF's and have a set of IDA's sitting waiting to go on. I've also got rid of the heads to my brother for his turbo bug, and am looking to upgrade this aspect of the car to hopefully make a bit more power.

the car see's little street use, and will be used mainly on the strip and for the odd cruise now and then in the tradtitionally shitty ambient temps of the northern UK.

I've been considering CNC Comp Elims or Wedge Ports - opinions? What valve sizes would I be best looking at? Should I be looking to change cam at the same time or would the 86C be good to go?

Thanks.
Jamie
