the head doesn't need anything special post your horsepower and goals with the car and we can help u decide what u need done...

You might as well have the head ported and polished while your at it.

You don't have to touch your head, if you want 500 HP. HRC didn't and ran 11's.

It just might make it easier, if you do perform some headwork.
