Default which heads ?

Ok I dont know wheter to get the 205 or the 225 heads from AFR... im pretty much stock for now.. but in the near future i would like to put a d1sc with 8lbs on it, and eventually rebuild the bottom end to a 383 with forged internals to handle more boost... if i go with the bigger heads now am i going to lose poer or what is going to happen, or should i stick with the 205s even when i finish my project?

the 225's are usually for larger cubic inches then stock , what are your horsepower goals?

If you are 100% set on either a supercharger or turbocharger I wouldn't think twice about purchasing the Mongoose 225cc heads. Even on a stock cube bottom end.

This summer I built one of my customers a fully forged 346, custom camshaft, AFR 225cc head out of the box, ATI D1SC with twin coolers. I just tuned the car 2 weeks ago on the dyno. On still a conversative tune with 8-9psi of boost the car made 630rwhp through a T-56/Moser 12 bolt
