Dome shaped pistons are used to raise compression I've heard that they tend to create an uneven burn. Its not as simple as saying whats the best h/c/i combo. It depends on what you want it to do.

THe TFS kit is BY FAR the best, most complete "kit" on the market. You cant even begin to touch it for the price. Its the same price as the Holley kit, but comes with valve covers and rocker arms. I did my own kit and spent less, but I got extremely lucky and got my heads brand new for $625.

Agreed. The TFS kit is the best out there. I want it.

I have a set of 5 lug rims with tires (from a 2000 GT) already and I will be doing some SFC's for sure. Junk yard parts for the 5 lug swap. I would like to get the TFS kit for sure.......but I might look for another bike than start buying "go fast parts"

I wouldn't even think twice about it. I, personally, would spend all 4k on my car. That's me though.
