What heads for this combo? Hey everyone. I just bought a new cam and will be installing it next week as well as the rest of my bolt-ons. I just picked up an FMS F14 on a 112. I also have a full intake (SLP cai/SLP lid/ported throttle body/LS6 intake), exhaust (Pacesetter race-style LT's/ORY/Corsa), 3800 stall, 3.73's, and full suspension...oh yeah, about 275# of weight reduction. I eventually want to get an electric water pump, and heads for my car. What type of heads should I get? I was thinking of Dart 205's, possibly the ones hand finished by PRC, as well as some TEA's. My motor will be staying stock displacement, and I will be eventually grabbing a FAST 90, and a wet kit. What heads would you recommend? Thanks.

I'd definetly go with the Dart 205s or 225s.
Also, the Dart 205s and 225s come with 62cc of combustion chamber volume. The AFR 205s come with 66cc, which will make it more difficult to get higher compression out of them without using a thinner head gasket and milling them down...however, then you run into PtV clearance issues.
Alan Futral told me that the Dart heads also have a little more PtV clearance than the AFR heads.
Both companies need to make a 58cc head
