Default Need help picking heads!

I need some help picking a good but not expensive set of heads. I have the TSP TorquerV2 cam, The Fast90, and I need a good set of heads to compliment them. I am shooting for around 440rwhp thru an A4. I have mostly all the bolt ons except underdrive pulley. I was looking at the Dart 205's, the Patriots, or the Prc LS6 style from TSP. Anybodies suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

I would think that most people would steer you to the 205's I have no direct experience with them but know people that run them and love them. r I dont think you can beat the 205's for 809 a piece assembled. Just my 2cents. Good Luck

Not sure you will make the 440 through an A4 Have a buddy with a TR231/237 with the 205s 90/90 and a SD tune making 460 through a m6, I would be happy with 415ish to the wheels. What converter are you running?

If you want to stay cheaper i would defintaly go with the dart heads, but if you want to shell out the extra cash i would go with the afr's. But the darts seem to be putting down great numbers, and for the price they are really really nice.

Sombody just put down 450ish to the wheels with cast dart heads an a f14 which is almost just like the torquer.
