For those of you (like me) who don't know what SGI is, I googled it and found this explanation on answers.com........
"Spheroidal Graphite (Cast) Iron. As the name implies, graphite is present in spheroidal form instead of flakes and compared with Grey Cast Iron it has higher mechanical strength, ductility and increased shock resistance."

I'm always amused when someone says he is going to grind on a set of heads and make them better. If you don't have a PhD in Fluid Dynamics or decades of head porting experience, my best guess is that you'll end up with heads that won't flow any better than stock.....or maybe worse.

You're saying that this is a street driver motor, so bolt it together and go. You'll never use revs past 5000 anyway.
