I'm on the prowl for some cylinder heads, so I stopped in a local head porting shop http://www.speierracingheads.com/ to ask what heads would be right for my setup. We got to talking and he shot me a pretty good deal on some nasty lt1 heads he's going to start carrying. BUT I think these might be a little extreme for my setup, and I have a few questions.

These monsters have a 2.100" intake valve, will this cause clearence issues with my setup? (11:1 383, 230/236 .570/.576 lift)

With a 227cc intake runner, is this a little overkill on a 4.030 bore?

I know the guy pretty well, and he does some top notch work. I have no doubt these heads will make power, but are these a little extreme for my street/strip setup?

AFR227's?

It depends on how many RPMs you feel safe spinning and what cam you want to run.

That guy you went to is highly regarded. Remind him of the pcm limitations we have (7k). I'm sure he'll sell you some good stuff.

You will have no clearance issues with that cam, but like stated make sure he knows what RPM limit you will be working with.

Yeah, he's pretty reputable, and I made it clear that I don't want something that's going to be completely race only. As for RPM, I would like to stay at 6500 since my cam stops making power there. He says these heads would be right up my alley, but I'm a lil worried they might be more than I need. I post pictures as soon as he's done with them and see what everyone thinks.
