Which heads?
W/out running the risk of being any one's pimp, I will say that I've been VERY pleased w/TEA's work....my best advice is to call any one(or better yet several)of our fine sponsors, and explain what you have, and what you want your car to do. Listen, learn, and make an informed decision.
Knowing what the other specs on your cam are importent also. Ramp rates, ICL, ABDC #'s will help the porter of your choice build a head that takes full advantage of the cam. Back in the "olden" days, we would take a set of worked heads, and match the cam to them....not the other way around.
High flow #'s are all the rage, and while it's absolutely true that the more air in/out at optimum velocity's is grounds for more power, if the cam can't utilize the port design, you're no better off. Sometimes bigger is not better, and sometimes paying more yeilds less....
Good luck-

why is it you dont want to spin passed 6200
, i would think with a cam that size peak would be at about 6400rpm or so and tq at 4500rpm. and what kinda numbers are you shooting for low 12's, 11's, 10's? Thread Starter
