Hey guys, just had a post similar to this but new questions for ya. Been having decisions about heads and probably dumping the peanut ports.
I was reading about these heads, mainly wondering about the lift of the valves/ lbs of force, does this have alot to do with the lift on a cam? Should these 2 things go together?

They are closed chamber heads, check em out if you havent already. Im thinking about getting them.

So closed chamber heads have a small combustion chamber and open/heads have a larger chamber? Im really curious what are the pro's and con's of each, and what there compatable with; cam, pistons, etc?

Did open and closed chamber heads come on all Rec, Oval, and Peanut port heads?

Try the search feature. There is a ton of info on this here in previous posts. 90% of the time I find just what I'm looking for (and sometimes more!). And the best part is you don't have to wait for a reply. graemlins/thumbsup.gif BTW, good luck on your 454 build up, take your time and do lots of research before you spend a dime. Patience, or the lack thereof, has cost me alot of $$ graemlins/beers.gif
