all things being equal which head would be better, not taking in consideration that vortec heads would need a different manifold.

Votec or World Products Torquer Heads.

Magnum Cams are very aggressive and specifically designed for the street enthusiast looking for more power with that Pro Street sound. Intended for performance oriented vehicles that will see little street use. The idle characteristics of your engine will change due to the increased duration and overlap of the Magnum Cam Series. Best for serious street machines. This cam has a definite rough idle and will sometimes affect power accessories. It can be driven extensively on the street or raced on the weekends. The 280H needs an aftermarket converter, intake manifold and headers

Operating Range: 2000-6000 RPM

Vortecs. They have the modern "heart shaped" combustion chamber that burns better. The intake ports are also designed to produce massive torque. The downside (for you, seeing as the other heads you chose are 76cc heads) is that they're only available in 62-64cc chambers. Another downside is they're lightweight castings, more prone to cracking. And in stock form, they don't take much lift.

But "all else being equal", the Vortecs are a better design.

Ya, the 76c was kinda a turn off also. I was wondering about that also.

Vortec hands down, get good springs put on and guides cut for the lift you need. I am not a fan of the S/R torker's, kind of "generic" if you ask mee.

I have run both. The Torquers are just about the same as an old camel hump head. The Vortecs are the best mild street motor head I have ever come across. Use the vortecs get the guide clearence problems fixed and you will be very happy.

Another vote for the Vortecs... :thumbsup:
