    76 looks like a weak-suck combination to me. I'd be lookin' for at least 400 ft./lbs. of torque under 4000 r's. You don't have to settle for 8.5:1 compression ratio either. If you run a tight (0.035" to 0.045") squish, you can operate on pump gas up to 10.0:1 or more with no problem, even with iron heads.

    If you liked ryanscarpage, you're gonna love this link. In order to make any sense out of comparing one head to another, compare them at 0.400" lift figures. Trying to compare them at every lift will only confuse you (at least it did me).
