Default 555 or 565 with Dart 308 Heads?

Anybody use a set on these motors?
I spoke to Ron Potter (Engine builder) a few years back and he highly recommended using them on 540 engine builds for big torque gains.
Im thinking of stroking my 509's with a 4.375 stroke. Not turning more than 5600 RPM.

Thoughts?

The 308 doesnt give up much flow to the 345 iron eagle, from .200 to .600 lift. It does that, with a 2.25 valve (2.30 in the 345), and a port that is 37cc smaller. They should work well for you, and make some great torque. They also make a 330cc, cnc ported iron head now, which would prob be the best performing, but cost more.

intake flow 308/345/330cnc
.2-157/158/169
.3-232/228/236
.4-291/289/297
.5-325/327/343
.6-347/358/367
.7-359/378/384
.8-363/390/394

I wish I went smaller when I did mine, my engine designer didn't know too much for heavy boat build.

You don't say? Please, tell us the story. I don't think any of us have heard this one before...

Tech tip: This is exactly how you have bothered the crap out of most people. Someone asks for tech advice and you whine about your stuff without any help to the OP.
