As some of yall know I was looking at aftermarket heads but was worried about clearance issues due to flat top pistons. Well looking at the build sheet it says that cp30 H-120 for pistons. Does this ring any bells with anybody. The cam specs are HYDRAULIC ROLLER − Great in street
machines. Best power above 3500 rpm
but still good torque. Mild rough idle.
Largest for stock heads and intake.
2000+ stall recommended.
Hyd. Hyd. 2000 to 5500 35-440-8 281HR 281 281 220 220 .512 .512 110°

So which heads again should I go with??

Gonna go on 95 gt

Little Google search for ya. The closest thing I could find on your pistons are listed below. The part number does not match perfectly, so its hard to say if it is your piston for sure. But it does appear that they are Speed Pro name brand, so perhaps you can contact them.

This looks to be your camshaft.

Either the AFR's or the TFS will do fine for you. You should not build your engine around your cam, rather your cam around your engine.

I hear ya on the cam thing, but wasn't happy with the outcome of the build so now I'm thinkin heads will do the trick.

I think what he's trying to say is, heads cost about 5x what a cam costs, so buy the heads you really want regardless of how they match the cam, and change the cam in the future if needed.

Yeah I'm not so concerned about the cam, my main concern was what heads would fit the flat top pistons w/ out clearance issues
