Default 210cc or 195cc ?

Hi I got 97 LT1 Camaro M6 trans and I built a strong 383 LT4 Block.. I will spray 150-200 wet shot.. The question is which heads should I use.. This is my daily car, some times in traffic.. 210cc or 195 cc??

After a few months I will probabily go with supercharger and I want to use the same heads off course..

Camshaft selection will change related to how big will the heads right?? My injectors are 30 lb..

any suggestion will be great..
thanks

I would say the 210's at first NA they might not be the best for velocity. But once u spray it or go FI they should be just wat youo are looking for

Also on AFR web site they suggested 76cc combustion chamber for 210cc heads .. But the compression will be 11:1 so I will go with 64cc combustion chamber .. Its true??

What type of pistons do you have? To achieve a 11:1 CR with a 64cc chamber, you will need the equivalent of a 6cc dish on your pistons with a .040" thick head gasket. With the same gasket, a 76cc chamber will call for a 6cc dome to get the same CR.
