You can't just grind away with a dremel and expect 50hp when you're done. The 049's are good heads and i think you have a solid combo put together. As said before, invest some time in tuning and setup and you'll be happy in the end.
so wat do you think it will be the best way to tune it?on a engine dyno before i drop the motor in or a car dyno after the engine is already installed?and which one you think would be cheaper?
