i doubt I'll make it to the track more than 2 times a year but...

Should I get performance heads anyways?


My setup... 350 4 bolt mains, Xe268H Comp cam, Edelbrock Performer RPM gasket matched, Holley 600cfm VS carb, this is all on a Jasper reman engine with "made in Mexico" heads and about 14,000 miles on that setup
Also running a 700 r4 and 3.73 gears out of a posi iroc rear (in my 92 rs,originally a v6 car)

I'm still going to buy the correct springs for the cam, a K&n Xstream air filter, and a 125 shot of laughing gas

But any input would be awesomee!!! P.S. I'm shooting for (high?) 12's, Thanks!

Why not? If you can afford them, they would compliment what you've already got. The carb seems on the small side for a mild cam 350. You're probably gonna approach them limits of what the carb can deliver if you get a decent breathing set of heads on there. I would think you'll be into the 12's on a 125 shot no problem, stickie tires would really compliment everything else, especially on the spray. Gonna be tough to hook street tires on a 3.73 rear, 3.06 first gear, and spray.

FOR YOUR setup i would go with some world s/r torquers...theyre cheap for aftermarket..and great street heads...with the 170 runners and 2.02's they make good torque..perfect for a street car
