For your application, the AFR 205's are gunna be your best bet. All the other heads have larger port volumes and won't work as well on a car with no internal modifacations. IMO, the 205's should be your only choice givin the application.

I agree with the other guy that said you should get the AFR 205 for the small port volume. If they are way out of your price range I would try the Dart 205's as a second choice.

AFR will be around 2000$ and the prc will be around 850$ , PRC r a good choice go and look at the dyno section .Furthermore ,they r the best bang of the buck in my opinion if u cant affoard the AFR.

I'd definately get the AFR's or DART's for a stock cammed car. The PRC's have WAY to large runner volume, and would not work well with your setup.

Ok, thanks! I don't know if this will make a difference and if it does I'm sorry I didn't mention it sooner but I'm ordering headers with true duel exhaust. Again, thanks everyone for your help.
