What are good heads for superchargering? I know with the AFR 185's I need to notch the stock pistons. That's not going to happen cause I'm not touching the short block. Should I grab the AFR 165's? I heard they have thick decks which is good for boosted applications. But are they big enough? Any thing good about Brodix? Canfield? TW? for boost.

I'll be running around 9-10psi.


Thanks for any suggestions.

i have 61cc AFR 165s, they do the job real well. It's important to get the right cam as well to make the best use of the heads.

Can you change the cam with the engine still in the car?

Any recommendions on head gaskets? Cometic or Fel-pro's?

Plan is KB 2.2L.

Already have GT-40 lower, A9L, 90mm LMAF and 42 lbs injecors. Not installed of course.

Need: 70mm T.B, 255 intake pump, Wideband, and the KB.

Thought I would upgrade the heads and cam....just because. Will the 165's raise my compression ratio at all?

Thanks for the response.

yes u can change the cam with the motor still in..... canfield makes a really good product but the pocket book will pay...if i were you i would get the 185s and notch the pistons....you can notch the pistons with them still in the block

yes the 165s will raise your compression...the stock e7 is a 69cc head.....the afr is available in to two versions a 61cc and 58cc....stay away from the 58cc if you dont want higher compression but as you can see your going to see higher compression from either compared to a stock head

I thought stock heads were 64cc.

I run 58cc AFR 165's on my stock 93 shortblock. If the tune is good no worries.

Cool

I'm going to go with the 165's. Anybody else feel these heads are the way to go. For a good head that requires no notching of the pistons. That notching tool kinda scares me.

To tell you the truth I dont care about HP numbers or 1/4 mile times. I just want to snap necks.
