Default MTI 2E Heads or Cartek 2X Heads Info please if you have them

Trying to decide which Stage II heads to get. I don't want to go bigger on a cam just yet, so I'd like to see how Heads will work out with the cam I now have. I'd like to know what cams your running with them and some track times if you have them.

Here are my cam specs:
212/218/ 115 LSA .558 .563 Power range 1400-6700

Track times are in my sig with stock heads, exhaust and gears.

I know the cam is considered a baby cam but it's yield great results for me and is completely stealth because you don't hear it (no lope) I like that and I'd like to remain above the supposed new 11.50 NHRA rule 1/2005.

I am wondering which of these Heads would work better for the cam and lift I have? Or, if I decide to go bigger later on?

Any feedback would be appreciated, Thanks!

Love my MTI 2E heads. They work great on my setup. IMO, they are the best head for a 346 street/strip car.

Cartek heads work excellent with small cams. All of Cartek's high powered heads and cam street cars run a tame cam.

I have the stage II X heads and they are an excellent head.

I have the MTI Stage 2E heads, very happy with the quality, power and service I received from MTI. I've seen a lot of dyno charts from bigger set ups that made less power than my MTI set up.

I just recently recieved a set of MTI 2e heads and they look very nice. I had planned on using the T1 cam that I had in my Camaro but bought a TSP 225 cam on a deal and will be using it. I think MTI is porven on this board and others and you will be happy with the
service and products, they are good guys to deal with.

I also had good results with my T1 cam as the Z28 trapped at 115 the last few times I ran it with an M6 and 3.42's. MTI is one of the best IMHO.

So far, I'm happy with my 2E's. There's more in my setup when I get the detonation up high under control. I'm running them with a C1 and haven't been on the track since I installed them. They did wake up the high RPM range, for sure.

Have a new set(installed but sold car before engine went in) of MTI Stage 2R heads for sale if you decide to go a little bigger, by the way another vote for MTI
