    it all has to do with RPM i have used rect ports on the street closed and open chamber and i have ran the big O ports they both work. for small cid to396 -469 with the right cam and intake the Oports work very good . what you have to think of is what rpm do i want to run ? if for the street i would go to the o ports the engine will not just drop the car in the 11s it is much more than a engine but a marriage of parts that work good together . it helps if you can hook it up .this i know all to well

    NOW WAIT A MINUTE!!!!! I am a 54 year old woman that owns and drives a 54 Chevy with a sbc. I am sticking up for ALL WOMEN out there with their own rides.
    My hubby build a 460 for his 27 Roadster and pulls low 10's at the strip all day long. The engine came out of a wrecked 454 Suburban. Personally men working on cars is SEXY!!!
    Good luck with your project.

    Well, your hubby must be the sexiest guy around today, after the workout he got on your small block over the last week!! Sorry JoAnne, couldn't resist!! So, maybe you PLANTED that resistor in the HEI wire, so he would have to keep working, and you could keep looking!
