those heads IMHO are tiny...with that compression do you plan on going with thicker gaskets and throwing a snail on it?
I'm doing a DART 434 (4.155 bore with a dragonslayer 4") 12 to 1 with RHS LS7 305cc FRH heads and my long tubes are Kooks 2" to a 3.5" collector, X-pipe, two multicore Borla X-1 40575 mufflers 3" pipes from back to front...for the street
