Default So what heads is everyone running?

*This is a general thread so the poll options are very general as well. Give your details in your post.*

Just curious as to what the general public is running as far as aftermarket heads go?

Are you happy with what you have? Do you wish you had gone in another direction?

Dart 225's. Happy with them but have not yet made it to the track. My combo feels very strong to me though.

PRC 2.5 5.3's with 2.04/1.57 valves and 58cc chambers. I'm happy with the results from my setup. It has way more track potential than I have so far achieved. I need to get something better than MT drag radials and need to dial in my WOT fueling.

TEA 5.3 are great heads but the ls6,tfs,afr dart etc. have more potential for those who are wanting to lean on there engines with larger ci., or big cam combo's,this seems to be the case with the major head porters.I would still buy the 5.3 heads again for my set up.My old set up example:98 z28,stock bottom end,futral f 4 cam,tea 5.3 1.5,a4 with 3200 vige and 3:23's 11.50 @ 117,car weighs 3580 with driver. What is nice is we have some real good choices out there now.

Hahah, like the post says "general" poll options. Stage 2.5 5.3L fall under the category of "5.3 heads". Stages and all that crap aside, this is a pole for the basics.
