Dart 205 or 215 for DD?

For a daily driver I was leaner toward 205cc runners but 225's seem to come up for sale more often. If the heads were cut say .080 on the 225cc would it be hard on a daily driver? Would it be too peaky?

Thanks,
Bill

I was planning on keeping the 233/233. I like it.

Thanks.

Not sure of your PTV with the cam, but the 205's and the 225's have different size valves if that is a concern at all.

205's will give you more bottom end over the 225's. I'm planning on going with the 205's as well for dd. If I was to run the 225's, it'd be on a bigger motor with more cam.

I have the 205s in my car with the MTI C1 cam and I love it. No complaints here. And its my daily driver.

I would go with the 225's if you had a cam with more lift like say the lsk lobes so you could take advantage of the flow past .600 inchs but with the torquer i defintally say the 205's. As for PTV you'll be perfectly fine with stock gasket thickness but if you are pulling th heads i would recomend running .040 gaskets to up the DCR but even with that i think you'll be fine on PTV, but measure just to make sure
