Head choice ?

I want to buy new heads and get rid of my TrickFlows. Here's my choices so far:

AFR 210s
Jeg's Aluminum heads
Motown LIte 220s
Edelbrock Victor JRs
Brodix Track 1s

Can anybody recommend anything better that flows great out of the box ? Thanx

they all flow good. Great is a relative term

Track 1s are slightly wider and will cause a set of supercomps to touch on the front crossmember and rear control arm mount passengerside. I know for a fact.

Find out what the chamber sizes are on them and which ones will put you at the compression you want with out cutting.

I am a firm believer in changing parts in sets to get best benefits. You going to change cams and intakes? What rpm are you running in the traps and whats the max you want to turn?

Yeah...for the money, the Pro Action 220cc heads.

Here is a link to the website page: http://www.procylinderheads.com/123460020a.asp

I bought mine from: www.competitionproducts.com


They start at $699 bare for a set and I paid $799 for the CNC chamber option. I have just under $1200 into them TOTAL including paying a professional to check and assemble them ($240 charge just for that)

I am putting them on this weekend...

They are a great head for the $$$.

Good luck,
