32 Valve Heads
These guys are producing them: http://www.araoengineering.com/Chevy/chevysmb.htm
Very expensive but are they worth it in terms of power gained?
Also Barry Grant is producing a 3 valve per cylinder head has anyone any experience of either?
Thanks

In theory, they should pretty much own any other head on the market.

Graeme, after seeing what your engine can already do to the drivetrain just wondered if you were looking for more power? If you decide to swap heads, let me know, I may be interested in your old ones.

maybe these heads deserved more fortune then what they seem they have, probably the market that they target is not that receptive for this kind of 'modern' tecnology...4 valve/cil might be seen like good for EU or japanese small displacement engines, not for large CI's powerplants...also, compared with the cost per HP in USA, using more traditional tecnology, they're simply out of the market altogether

Panic,
Thats where I was coming from , But the benefits could be, for someone like me with a new 350 installed and only run for 3000 miles, that its relatively easy 'bolt on HP', albeit at a price. But the other side of me says, for that sort of money I could sell my engine and build a really good 383 stroker.
Jotto, You can be first in the queue bud!
