Just an observation, all the heads raising compression will give some increase in power. There are many factors to consider, carby, manifold etc. The stock carb is like drinking a milkshake thru a small straw, you get the idea. But, like anything, the results will be only as good as the work put into it. By this I mean tuning, optimized timing, fuel curve close and of course the motor must be in good repair BEFORE you start. J

Give me a number when adding your head alone? A police head gives 20% increase I believe and they are only 5.5 compression.

Re: Best in class head
Adding compression and a bigger carb are the quickest and easiest ways to more power. Hard to beat a Winfield, unless it is a BRIERLEY head. I'd post a pic but posting here is too complicated for my old brain. Facebook is much easier. A Stromberg 81 is much better than a stock carb, a 97 is even better.

Re: Best in class head
There are benefits of raising efficiency of your 200 cubic inch L head engine..Your engine will run cooler,fuel economy will increase and the power is pleasant. Bear in mind,as John said,you cant build a house with a poor foundation and expect it to last..
