Heads will play in compression.

For the Camaro?

It's a 1980 pro street camaro. 411 9 inch Ford rear back half ladder bar. 8 point roll bar. Turbo 400 shift kit 3000 stall. Car had a 572 in it before I got it. Set up for the track but I want to pro street it more street than track. The 454 that's in it is a 1978 truck 454 I pulled the numbers. Long story I purchased the car out of flordia about a month ago under the impression that it still had the 572 in it I got screwed should of did the reserch before hand but I trusted the man. I can't screw over people, I'm too honest. It has the torker two intake on it small cam but not a lot of power. I don't want to pull the engine and rebuild it . It's got.plenty of compression as is I just want max power out of it, maybe in the future ill do pistons and crank I don't know.
