For those of you that replied to my last forum on the Y heads, thanks!, But, I was misinformed. I did not win them so Im back to the drawing board. SOooo, As Im looking for another set of heads, Im not sure if I should look for ones with 1.90 or 2.02 intake valves. I got a 308 w/ the pistons notched for valve reliefs. (that sound right??) Itll have a b303 cam, cobra intake, and 410 gears. It is a STREET car but will see some 1/8 mile track time. Gimme your suggestions and any other info you need to help me out! Thanks!!! Chris

If you already have aftermarket pistons that have larger valve reliefs, I would go with the 2.02" valve heads.

It will give you a bit more room to grow later on...

1.90, it keeps the intake velocity up and gives you the potential to make low end torque. The higher intake velocity also gives a few extra HP (and sometimes more than a few).
