what heads to go with my 331?

[Modular2v]

here is the break down guys, 331 stroker, long tubes, weiand stealth intake, 750 holley dp, 512 cam all on a roller motor...what heads would best compliment my setup. the car weighs 2900lbs and i want 11s

 

[txstang84]

what kind of cam are you running again? 512 lift doesn't say much...

I'd say Eddy Victor Jr's, or AFR 205's and you also didn't mention if you're wanting to run a power adder or not...

wait a sec...your sig says AFR 185's...do you have the heads already?

 

[Lyncher]

stick with the 185s...if you insist on going bigger get the 205s

 

[Modular2v]

well the 185s i planned on ordering next week...... just checking b4 odering really

 

[txstang84]

well, if you're planning to use them, go for them-there's absolutely nothing wrong with the 185's and they'll more than likely yield you the power you're seeking...any power adders?

i only said get the 205's because once you hit 11's...the hp bug will come to you in your sleep again and again, and tell you that you want 10's...lol

 

[luckythirteen13]

afr 185's are great

 

[bluevenom867]

[1EVIL88VERT]

jegs kaase

 

[Modular2v]

anyway to get 10s on the 185s?

 

[txstang84]

spray it-drive it like the bitch owes you money!

 

[txstang84]

jegs kaase

yeah...$2k after all's said and done

heads...$1600
pushrods...$150
valve covers...$200
the smile on your face when you pull your best time to date....priceless

 

[Modular2v]

yeah nitrous might be in the near future....i just pray the block doesnt split

 

[Grn92LX]

Victor jr or afr 205 Cam it right and you won't need the spray. Don't forget valve springs.

 

[Rick 91GT]

What cc is the piston so I can figure out comp ratios.... Is the block "0" deck?

What cam do you have?

 

[Modular2v]

not sure what cc.....the pistons are forged probe flat tops....there hasnt been any deck work done to the block

 

[tjm73]

IMO.... AFR 205's are too much for what it sounds like you have. They have 2.08" intake valves. Too much head and valve for a dual plane intake and 331 inches. For that engine I'd be looking at AFR 165 and (most likely I'd buy) AFR185's.

 

[DemonGT]

anyone think afr 225's are to much for a 347 with a holley intake 1 5/8 shorty headers and a ed curtis cam...mild cam...

 

[Rick 91GT]

Yes I think the 225s are way too much head for that combo. Now paired with some decent comp, a Super Vic intake, carb, big soild roller, and lots of RPM it may work....although a 205 would be better suited.

If it has a blower it may change things...


I agree with tjm on this one, the 185's are going to be your best bet, not enough motor to take advantage on a 205.
