http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/perform...s/frameset.cfm im runnign these heads i liek them because there 58cc and you can get a higher compression. i should have around 11 to 1 compression. Im running .550 lift cam victor intake mahle psitons h beam rods. my heads do have a 1000 dollar port job though and they flow about as good as a set of flowed vortec heads.( my uncle runs vortecs in his truck roundy round car becuase they ahve to use stock componets ) ill tell you hp its making in a week or 2 when i get in running.
I just finished my 355ci with center bolt vortec heads. My set up includes 10.5:1 Keith Black pistons, eagle 6"rods, Lunati roller cam set up, 232 dur. .485 lift with Harland Sharp 1.6 roller rockers, I used a Professional Products Hurricane intake, Quick Fuel Holley 750, Pete Jackson timing gear set, Hedman Elite ceramic coated headers. Scat 10/10 crank, Mallory Unilite distributor, MSD 8.5mm wires and AC double platinum plugs. We did 7 pulls on the dyno and after tuning put up 427 hp/431 lbs. The heads are only good to about 6200rpm then the numbers really drop off. Feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions.
Hope this helps...

Just curious if the engine is in the car and what octane fuel you are running. I am finishing up the front end and have my 388 sitting on the engine stand for the past couple of months waiting to go in. The pistons I have are Speed Pro, about 10.4 to 1. I thought it might have been too high a compression ratio. When I put the engine together, I found out the block was zero decked bring my compression ratio up to 11 to 1.
