Uh, they don't make 305 Vortecs....? To my knowledge.

...062 and ...902 Vortec heads came only on 5.7/350's '96 to '02

Do you have 305 center bolt valve cover heads? How many bolts hold down the intake on each side?

The 305 heads make compression, small valves build port velocity and torque with a quick throttle response. They run out of steam around 5000 RPM. You'll need to run the best octane gas you can. If they are not on yet, they would be better overall if you opened up the edges of the chamber to the gasket edge to keep them from being hot spots in the chamber/cylinder that can lead to detonation/pinging.
