Another what heads should I go with thread... Well I decided to buy the f-4 cam (226 226 114) and I am hoping that with a good tune it will pass smog here in Cali.
So now onto the heads - In your guys opinion what would be the best heads for that cam? I am thinking of going with some stage 2 heads (5.7). Is there that big of a difference between stage 1.5 and stage 2? Should I raise the compression and go with some stage 2 5.3 heads instead? Kinda lost on what the best setup for me would be.

ET Performance's 5.3L head would be what I recommend. It flows right at 330 CFM and has made over 460RWHP in stock bottom-end applications. They are priced just right too.

What if I go with a 100 shot later on? would the 5.3 heads work well with that?
