Default AFR heads on daily driver?

Anyone doing this with the 205s and how many miles have you put on? I'm considering it, but need to keep my car pretty reliable which it has been for the most part. Probably just need to make it a year and a half or so before I buy another car and turn mine into a weekend warrior.

You might have better luck asking that in the Internal Engine section. More Techies over there talk about that kind of stuff. Nothing against anyone here. Just seems ppl tend to stick to on area or the other.

OK, figured I'd get some crap like, "oil doesn't touch daily driving..."

Well, it is in the worng section, but Ill try and give you some help, while it gets moved Heads wont affect daily driving, but so much. A cam will
definately have a bigger affect on daily driving(which you already have) Just dont go too crazy and get the smallest combustion chambers. Smaller Combustion chambers equal more compression, and u dont want to much of that for a daily driver. They are available in 66cc and 76cc. Now Im not sure what your compression will be with each, because I dont know your current setup(except for cam). With your cam, you should get the upgraded springs for up to .600 lift(PN 8019) They(AFR) also reccomend that you get Comp "R" lifters. Also, by the way, you'll probably be pushing about 460+ RWHP with this setup.

Hope this helps, and good luck!
