Re: IML: Sorry so late

[<fretwellt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry I have not gotten back but I was trying to get everything tied down for the hurricane here we go again. Thank you for info I don't have enough money to get those heads from mopar for about 1,100 dollars,  so I am just going use the original heads. I asked the machine shop about port and polish the heads, they told me for an everyday driver vehicle your not going to get that much more horse power until your pushing around 450 or higher. I am just looking to get a little more horse power because the car is so heavy. Rebuilting the top end of the engine should do that with a few more little adjustments I am looking for around 350 or so horse power.
