I agree with you on that one Eric. Both the 186's and the Vortec heads will support about 400HP, but not much more unless you do a lot of work to them. (screw in studs, bigger springs, port work, etc.) You can buy vortec heads for $750 with all that done except for the port work but they still are just street heads. Why not spend a couple hundred $ more and get some Dart iron eagles that will support 500HP right out of the box, or even a $100 more and buy some aluminum heads.
Good to have her home finally, still need to go back and give her another polish after messing with the engine stuff. Made it up to Idaho. Also a local show.
