Re: best top end

Pretty limited with the small bore.
Do you have a manual or auto?
What gears?
What exhaust?
Are you planning on swapping them or anything else?
What are your goals?
What do you plan to use the car for?

Re: best top end

Your limited on most aftermarket heads bc of the small bore, 1.94/1.50 is the biggest you can go and from what I've heard some of those will even hit the cylinder walls, plus most aftermarket heads are in the 64cc range and the stock heads are in the 55 cc range so you compression will be significantly less...just things to take into consideration when working with a 305
