Flat my bad forgot to mention that

olds307 and 403 said:I vote on the Probe flat top, actually 3 cc valve reliefs. Light and a thin ring pack, not much more than the Speed Pro's. Balancing and cam degreeing are good ideas. Those with a clean up mill on your #8's will give you right around 9 to 1. Don't forget a 3 angle valve job. Get them to use a bowl hog on the exhaust bowls and pocket port wouldn't hurt. The exhaust side needs the most work. Then you have more cam choices than 8 to 1 or less.
olds307 and 403 said:They are the 2618 material, which is stronger. They have the thin ring packs, supposedly less friction and actually better ring seal. They also weigh less than the Speed Pro's, have a taller compression height(less decking for 0 deck) and can be run actually tighter despite the material differences. The Speed Pro's are a strong but dated design.
