Intake matches 1205, head matches 1206. ok?
Hey guys, I'm sure this has been discussed, but I couldn't find it. ....I've got an intake with enough meat to go out to a 1205, but not a whole lot more. I'm head shopping, and see a lot of 180/195 ish sized heads match up to a 1206. not all, but some. I know going from BIG intake runner to small head port opening can be a huge restriction, but what about the other way? In my non-expert option, a small 1205 size going one step larger to a 1206 sounds not too bad. I know you want the manifold a touch smaller anyhow.
Any thoughts?
...and because someone is gonna ask, the manifold is an Edelbrock TPI base, and a 1205 is about as big as you can go without adding material.

That step is fine. You never want the other way around
