Bruce Crower? There's not a specific list you have to follow with any build, nor is there any specific list for a 'turbo head'. You could run a stock head and make good power....conversely the list of modifications that could be done is almost endless.

What does the rest of your build consist of?

you never heard of bruce crower

as in this guy


as of right now the only other thing i have is complete stock bottem end and darton sleeves. i know theres not specific list but i want to have this built 1 time and 1 time only so like vavle guides and seals,(i dont even know what they look like so i wouldnt knwo where to start when it came to buying them) basicly anything that should get replaced is whagt im looking for.

plus i want to put in the best parts, that i can affored of course so this thing can handel some serious boost everynow and then

and oh yeah briancrower or "BC" is a fairly new company and hasent been makeing camshafts as long as bruce crower. infact, brain is bruces nephew and used to work for him. started his own company and uses the name to get him self well known

just incase u thought i was confuseing the 2 companys or something(not saying you did, just a littel side note)

rayford, you might not want to hear this, but building the head like that *could* be a waste of money for you. Many times on turbo h22 setups a stock head can get the job done. If it was me, I'd just keep the stock springs and retainers and cams (unless there's something wrong with them), and have the wear parts rebuilt (guides, valve seats, valve seals).

As far as I know, sticking to OEM head parts would be fine here....

A good P&P, cam gears and upgraded springs/retainers.. That's about all you'll need. Cams & valves are not necessary at all, OEM is more than fine. Spend the money on a good manifold and turbo instead.

Haha, I actually hadn't ever heard of Bruce Crower ( I wondered if you were referring to Brian hehe ). I would have to agree with the other guys, you will make good power with a stock head. Any machine shop can do a good rebuild for you and get it cleaned up and ready.

That would be a good starting point. You don't want to have all this extreme headwork done only to find out all the problems that can arise from aftermarket parts or find out that your head is ported out to much and flows worse than stock. Titanium retainers also have a shorter life than OEM steel....

I would stay with as little head work as you can accept and THEN if you want more power down the line you could experiment with cams and such.

stock head here making 360 at 15psi.
If i were to do anything to the head it would be skunk2 tuner stage1 cams with cam gears of course.

Otherwise i would spend the money elsewhere.

If you told us the rest of your build/hp goal i'm sure everyone could provide more insight.
