Pro Topline 50cc heads and 305's

anyone tried that out? for $600pr, that ain't bad, and it'd raise compression too.

maybe if my 305 lasts longer than i expect, and i dont do a 406, i'll have to try this out..

they also have a stock replacement for the 305 too

Cute but the valves are too big and the valve spacing is all wrong for a stock bore 305.
These are racing heads.

Yes but we have the technology to cure that problem. The big question would be would it be worth it.

IIRC it will raise the compression to about 10.6:1 on cast iron heads. Be ready to run the race gas

I was looking into the same thing, but couldn't risk the high compression and the risk of valve/bore interference with the 2.02 valves. I ended up going with the s/r torquer 305's, seem to be decent so far.

If you end up doing it, post back the results please.
