I'm trying to figure out what heads to use too. I'm most likely going with Dart Iron Eagle 200cc. Ive considered aluminum but I think My compression is a little low at 9.1 to 1. As far as the Sportsman II's they seem pretty good but the exhaust side flows a little less than some of the other heads. If you run a cam with a little more duration on the exhaust you should be good to go.

Here's a link that shows the flow #'s of different heads.

Don't have any yet, still finalizing the tuning/prom still. Plus I'm concerned about hitting it too hard very often due to stock WC T-5 and 3.42 10-bolt. Hoping to fix both by this summer......

Then it's track time!!!!
