just like the title says... What cams are you running, rocker arm ratio's, porting, intake manifold, etc..
How do YOU open your head's up to make more power, as the head flows like @!#$, apparently.
post pics too, if you got them...
I would post pictures but we have cardomain blocked here at work. so heres a link to my profile on there and it has everything listed with pictures.
my whip
that link doesnt work.. its just a pic...
just list it, and how much power you make.. Im trying to get an idea of what to do to the head to make the power I want..
I have oversized valves on a p&p head, 1:6 rockers, custom cam, chromoly pushrods, RSM intake mani & TB....waiting for dyno tuning. Dont have any pics on this computer....
for a quick mod that wakes it up especially in third gear is the Crane Gold Roller Rockers 1.6:1. I loved mine.

dope.. where did you guys get your stuff from?
and how do you rev with your built heads?
If you're SURE you're going turbo, technique matters less, you just want maximum flow, correct? The turbo will provide high velocity air as long as its not choked of by the head/valvetrain.

That's a myth. If you want performance, then all the same rules apply.
fortune cookie say: better a delay than a disaster
kinda.. turbo will just make power easier than all motor because you force the air in, but you still want it to flow as good as possible.. always... thats they key to making power.. well, one of them, anyway...
The motor looks @!#$ dope... Im going to build my engine, tranny, and turbo whatnot weeellllll before I ever think of putting it in.. I just want to drop in a turbo'd drivetrain... haha... and I shall
any links to porting the intake and exhaust ports? any tips?
where did youse guyses get your parts? I pretty much found all my parts on my list from Summit, MantaPart, turbotech, and a few others.. are there any other good ones?
^^^see post below labeled 2200 parts sources....theres lots of good places listed in there.

Of course you can go overkill with port sizes and overall head flow (CFM/inch lift), but are you saying that the same head is best for both the N/A engine and the same engine w/ turbo? Intuitively speaking, wouldn't a turbo car perform better with a higher flowing head than its N/A counterpart? It may have been wrong to say "technique matters less", but I cannot believe that the same head is optimal for both conditions
But I'm curious of your reasoning anyway, if I've been thinking about things the wrong way.

All i can say is find a patient machine shop, and understand that a lot of pieces you will need can not be bought from a supply house or parts dealer. your going to be introduced into the wonderful world of custom fabrications. my motor build took me over 6 months because when i did mine it was a relatively new concept for people to want to build our engine up. EVERYBODY was going Z24... so good luck if you have any questions feel free to email me.

Port flow is tricky. NA, turbo, blower, they all have different flow patterens different velocity of air, volume. A head is only best used with a set value of air flow for that head. everything down to different grinds for different compresors housings.
however for what we do with it, just increaseing the volume while keeping the ruff edges to a minimum will get you decent results. just make sure to pick a power goal try figure out the volume of air flowing an increase volume accordingly.
