Your post is too broad to get any real answer. You need to tell us more than what's the best head. AFAIK one of the best heads are AFR's, but there is also ALL PRO, and various other brands. You should do some research and see what fits your budget and combo the best. Or at least tell us so we can tell you.

sorry about that, stock 346 cubic inche and a streetable cam like MTI's C2 cam. "224/224 .581/.581 112 lobe" and a set of 2R head with a 2.02 intake and 1.56 exhaust, milled .030 and 300 CFM on intake runner and 210+ on exhaust. Need to dive the car every day about 20 miles. Trying not to spend more then around $3,500 dollars. Dont know if this is the best combo or not "is their something better". Thanks.

Thats what I was originally looking at, the 224/224 except on a 114 for better drivability. With the PRC heads now i'm going with 228/228 on a 114lsa. That head/cam package will run you about 1900k with harden pushrods and all.

Prc's like mentioned above and check out MTI,&TEA----> sponcer all should be around the same price/performance range. The C2 cam will make good power and have good maners, if you want to have it alittle smoother get it on a 114lsa.

Thanks for the help Canan, Will try to get it in a 114lsa. Just a quick question is that that have a smother idel, and what amount of power differents will their bein the two cams. MTI told me that I will have a great torque and top end with that cam with a 112lsa. With the 114lsa I will loose more of the torque at lower rpms with that cam. Need help, pleases let me know something. Thanks agian for the help.

I ran a TR224 112lsa in my old set up (wich is very close to the C2) it didn't bother me at all. It would buck a little if I just let out the clutch and let the idle pull the car but other than that no real issues. Get a good tune when your finished and you'll be set. good luck.

FYI: MTI 2E's and 2R's are for stock cubed motors. The stage 3 is for the big cube motors.

As for good heads and cam packages, I like the LG/AFR package. Its gona put you a little over your budget, but you will make the power.
