I'm running a class where you're supposed to run stock GM heads, 194/150. There is also a claim rule of $500, and a swap. They say no porting, or polishing. So my plans are to run a stock set of 487's. But I have a feeling that everyone else won't. So in the meantime I have a stock set of 441's, and wondering if without putting any money in them, if I myself could do some mild work with a die grinder on some casting flaws, or something. Would anything like that get some more horsepower?

Run any of the double hump heads 461,462,186,291,370 they will give you good flow also run as much compression as you can if you are in a 2bbl class that they will allowed you to run.

go with the 487 heads then.they are the better out of those bunch

My question is what I can do to them myself with a die grinder to make them a little better than stock?

Open up the area directly above the valves. There are some casting lines that can be removed to improve flow.

I agree, unshroud the valves.

Also smooth out the short turn radiuses.
