Default Dart heads which one?

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for some input as far as which head I should use on my car, I have a set of the ported Dart 205's on order from Texas Speed but wonder from reading other posts if i would be better off going with the 225's out of the box. As long as I don't have to flycut the pistons. I'm running a G5X3 on a 114 with stock heads right now and love the power, but the need for speed has bitten me again, I'll also in the very near future be installing a FAST Intake and Throttle body.
Thanks
John

Wait for the new and soon to be released CNC'd 205 Dart's. Call Dart and ask when that will be.

I know these heads are new to the market and it's hard to get info on them,would love to see some dyno #'s or better yet some track times before and after, and I'm not opposed to changing my cam if it's not going to give me the best power. Looking for some input from someone who might be running this setup already.

i am gonna be running the 225 dart head and it is ported, i just got them in today and they are bad. i am running them with a lunati 230/234 @ 50/ with .600 lift on a 114. Its a street driven everyday driver, you would get a little more torque with the 205, but you gotta look at what you might do in the future.... a bigger motor......turbo etc.

I'll be running stock cubes, this car will be sold next year for a C6, your cam is very similar to my G5X3, so you think I'll make more from the bottom with the smaller port even with this size cam.
