best is such a broad statement, what do you see in best?

I could say best is canfield heads and KB pistons. but thats my choice.

your idea of best could be something totally different.

do u have any goals for this engine?

maybe you want best gas milage? best horsepower? best torque off the line?

throw me a bone here.
