Default Best heads for my cam ! Help

I got a TSP 232/239 .595/.603 111 Lsa. The car is a daily driver cam only but it is also raced a good bit I went 12.2 with it I'm trying to bust into the 11's and gain more topend because it seems that's where a lot of people catch me any suggestions ?

What size motor?
Are you looking for better stock casting or do you want aftermarket?
Which intake manifold?
What year is the car?
How much does it weigh?
What size tires and rear gear?

You want 11's, there are a lot more factors that just heads.

I would try and find a set of 6X heads. They are getting harder to find but well worth the effort. Make sure you have hardened seats installed or at least run an additive.

Are you willing to run prem fuel all the time? M6, or A4 car? If it's an auto what converter do you have?


I would think ported stock castings, or ported 243's milled to get 11 - 11.5:1 would give some good gains. Not sure how close you'd be on P2V.

26-10.5/16 Et street with 3.73 and I ran the 12.3 before I put the 3.73 In it but it still feels sluggish on the big end because of the tires

Then probably having your stockers worked over is your best bet
