I have a 454 GenV and am mounting a 671 supercharger. The blower manifold has rectangle inlet ports. I would like to buy Brotix race-rite aluminium heads but am not sure to go for ovel port heads or rectangle. Please advise any advantages between the two.

regards Dave

I would use rectangle port they will flow better with a blower, I have 496 (454.060 over with 4.425 stoke crank)with Brodix 2 Xtra heads, with 10/71 blower overdriven 23% with an Enderle Hat running on Akly on the street, and it breaths real well,,,,,

rectangle ports with the blower no doubt. The purpose of the blower is to get more air in so why restrict it with oval port heads
