Im serious....show me where you go next to find that type of power and how much will it cost you??
If you picked up a total of 35 HP from the RHS swap (a stretch with a $900 as cast head), you paid $40 plus per pony for the first 35.....why would you leave double that figure under the table for less than half the price of the first admission.....that's penny wise and dollar foolish.
AFR heads, $1500, 75hp over stock - $1500 or $20 per hp
RHS heads, $900, NOS-07001NOS 150 shot, $388, 185 hp over stock - $1288 or $6.96 per hp.
RHS heads, $900, Used S-trim 15psi w/ hat $1200, 185 hp over stock - $2100 or $11.35 per hp
regarding s-trim: An s-trim with a 8" crank pulley, and a 3.33" blower pulley will push around 15psi on a small block, and add around 150hp. Average price for a used head unit is $600-800, figure a few hundred for a bracket, pulleys and belt.
