Ha, yeah I read it as 2.02 valves not 2.200.

I would actually downsize the valve to something like a 2.125, maybe a 2.150. A 2.200 is to large, to heavy, and you can get enough flow out of the 2.125 or 2.150.

Also, the ports are way too large and you'll really slow down airflow at low RPM. You can get serious airflow out of smaller ports by going to AFRs. The 225 flows more than most small blocks can use with a relatively small port size. High flow does not always make for a fast car.

We will soon have our hands on some CNC ported BARE LS7 heads. They are a VERY LIMTED qty, so they will go fast. As you know they do use an offset rocker, and your LS1/LS6/ Fast intake's will not work. You will have to wait on an LS7 intake, or make your own. for the small bore guys we will also have cylinder heads for you. These will be set up for a 4.060 bore or smaller. PM or email me with any questions!!
