Yes, the heads on the OHV engine are quite restrictive. With the addition of p&p heads, cam, and headers, alot of guys have made over 200-250 hp to the wheels of course with a few other supporting mods. Most people (alot of guys on rps) upgrade the cam when they install the port and polished heads. There are 2 cams that comp cams make that work well. The 410 (which is better for lower end towing torque curve) and the 422 (which builds its power slightly higher), both of which have torque peaks around 2500-3000 rpm. You must upgrade to longer pushrods with either cam as the cams are ground on reduced base circles. Smith brothers (
www.pushrods.net) can custom make a set (usually ~5.550 in length). With the 422, you must upgrade valve springs which you can get installed with the p&p heads from either morana or supersix motorsports. If you go with the 422 cam, you will also want to invest in some tuning time/programmer, etc. to get the most out of it.
