Dart 205 vs. TSP stg 2.5 5.3's I was stuck on getting the TSP's untill I started to hear good things on the Darts, what are some of your opnions on the darts? Would they be better than the TSP's with my cam?

I would personally keep going with the PRC heads. Both are good heads but I have seen a lot more good from the PRC's, than the Darts. No one has really been disappointed with them from what I have seen.

I would go with the darts. I know of Dart 225's with a valve job that out powered AFR 225's. They also dropped the compression 1.5 points and went to a smaller cam with the Darts.
205's are even better. You could run the 205's as cast on a stock cube motor and if you want to step in cubes later, send them off to be ported and have the best cathedral head out in my opinion.
Just options.

I would have to agree. I really liked the Dart 205s I had on my 346 combo. They worked great with the cam I had and made excellent power. I would say spend a little extra do and go for the Darts.

Dont Get Me Wrong Their Good Heads But Nearly All These Guys Say How They Can Get More Port Velocity Not Necessiarly Power..
Simply Put They Are Getting The Same Flow #'s With Smaller Runners... This Is A Good Thing No Doubt But For A Drag Car I Dont Know If Its Worth The Extra $$$$
Im Quite Happy With My 5.3l Heads And Ms3 Cam When I Get More $$ Ill Build A Better Shortblock And Spray More N20... In Most Cases Youll End Up With A Power Adder Anayway And In This Case The Extra 10 Hp Max You may Get Is Worthless
Its Tempting To Buy Every Dam Bolton You Can Afford But At The End Of The Day You Really Need To Coinsider Bang For Buck... No 346 With Any Heads Is Gonna Stang Up Against A Sprayed Ls1 Or A Built Shortblock The Point Here Is Build Your Stocker Reasonbly Fast And If Its Not Enough Buy A Better Bottom End And Go Big.. Spending 2-3k On The Best Heads When Ported Gm Heads Will Net You Similar Results Just Dosent Make Sence
To Me The Only Place For A High Budget Head Would Be In Either Some Sort Of Regulated Raceing Or When You Have Already Maxed Out Your Other Options (like Displacement) And No Stock Casting Will Fit The Bill
