Default need a suggestion for heads

i was going to try and test out some afr's for atlanta but they wont be available for a few months so any other ideas who makes a very very good flowing head that might wanna test them out. im shooting for a new n/a stock bottom end record 9's
im 99% sure the new afr-225's would do it but thats not a current option for now , plus i was going to put them on my new motor in progress.

honestly, id wait for the 225's man. Or either bide your time with some 205's till they come out. IMO from what ive heard from AFR and the buzz thats following these heads that there isnt much that is gonna be able to hang with them.

If this isnt an option, check into All Pro's LS1 head. Ive been hearing good things about them also.

i still say you should hit 9's cam only!

Get Meaux (guy who does Futral's heads) to do you a set of All Pro's. That way you'll have the best head available right now.

I would shoot for a lower number on the cam yet, just to make the cam only record that much harder to get. It would be cool to see a 9 or even a 10.20-30. That would just be increadable.

I'm curious, are you going to stay with the T-Rex cam when you get new heads? If not, what are you leaning towards?

Thunder Racing should hook you up with some heads for free. You've done alot for them, promoting the T-Rex cam and all.

I'm curious to see what you run with any performance heads and some tuning on your car.
