Shoot for compression in the 8's and get forged internals.

Re: need some help on 383

the way its looking now is 8.1-1 compression, all forged internal from eagle what kind of heads do you think would be a good match for a weiand 871 blower

AFR heads are always a good choice, or dart, brodix, etc etc.

Re: need some help on 383

8.1 might be a little sluggish, but will allow you to run a lot of boost on pump gas. I agree with the AFR's. some 195 eliminators or 210's would be good for your combo
