What did you put on your boat for heads, and what did you end up speed wise in your 311. I'm really thinking about upgrading the heads and cam in my 292 w/420's to something better. I know you used the Teague Stage 1 cam, but I don't think you ever specifically mentioned what you did for heads other than they were aluminum.

I used the world products Merlin 3 310's ... Current speed is 74 gps but still dialing it in

Thats a nice speed gain. Are you still spinning the 25 Mirage Plus props?
