Re: Another vortec Q?

This combination is popular. My only problem with it is it uses factory Vortec heads which have a valve lift restriction of about .480 lift which limits you in the event you want to upgrade your cam.

This could be a much better value because the heads have been upgraded and they include everything needed for the installation like gaskets, bolts, rocker arms, etc. Curiosly, they show the wrong intake in the picture and in about 2 places they say headers are included but the description ends with "headers not included". Very unlike Scoggin-Dickey who are normally very on top of things.

Extremely reliable. Scoggin-Dickey is a premier Chevrolet performance parts dealer. Call or e-mail them for specifics. They have a steller reputation for quality customer service.
