Default 317 heads vs 853 heads

Whats the difference, any better with 317 heads. Or do you need to do valve work on the 317s ?

Figured itd be a good idea t post my mods, 233/239 cam,obx racing headers 3" duals exhaust, stock intake/tb slp lid. Would a 70 cc chamber be to big? what would be a good head for my setup with out spending a ton of $$

they work just fine but better for forced induction because they lower your compression ratio. really it depends on what route your taking but i would go with 243/799 heads for higher compression and better flow great budget head imo of course

The 317 flow a lot better than the 853s, but the 317s give up compression as well. Your best bet is a set of 243 or 799 heads. Flow well and yield good compression
