Engine Mods...............worth the effort?

[venom500]

Hi all,just wondered if anyone would know if changing to a Alloy Flywheel/Race Clutch and porting polishing and fitting bigger valves is worth all the effort.As labour rates are so cheap in N.Z (just had a oil change at the garage for £8 in U.K money!)I,m thinking that it might be worth doing it when i get some money(still waiting to sell U.K House!).Were going to do the drivesharfts at some point as there a little stressed!and the clutch is still the original and must go soon i wondered if the gains of a light flywheel are worth the expence?Baz....do you think your head work was worth it?I thought that as were running with the Hennessey Throttle Bodys (72mm)getting the engine to breath better would make them work better?Any thoughts would be welcome!Cheers,TOM

DO IT!!!!!!!!
Ported and flown heads,mopar big valves and ported intake made a hell of a difference....

Cheers Baz,sounds like thats the heads sorted !Anyone (NAD,Joel)got ideas on drive sharfs/clutches and Flywheels?

(WOW!Love the Colour of the new RT/10)..
(Baz...best place for Mopar Valves?and will i need new springs?We are running with roller rockers,but not sure what ones,can the head work only be completed with roller rockers then?)

Got all my stuff,Mopar vaves,spring,retainers gasgets all from Todd at Arrow racing in the USA..
Did the 1.7 RRs to go with the big valves as they work well together (so i was told,mine got done at the same time)
