    What heads?

    Maybe, but I have never run AFR and I would like to know why these heads would be the best choice, concidering what the other parts are in the combo. The guy is not running anything that is going to lead into big power. I stand by recommendation of Thumper E7's or GT40's. And if the guy is...

    What heads?

    The valve float you speak of is due to the crap springs. You can't go by what max lift they say the springs are good for either. In my opinion the springs are too weak, even for the "E" cam. Dan, for your combo I would talk to Thumper for a great set of ported E7's or GT40's. He installs the...

    What heads?

    I bought a set of Performer 5.0's from a friend for a biuld I am doing now. I know for a fact these heads had no more that 500 street miles and less than 10 passes.

    You need to talk to a cam guy. I would recommend talking to Camshaft Innovations.
