WHICH HEADS

So, Ive decided to buy a set of aluminum heads, but now stuck on which ones. At this point my shortblock only has 1000 miles on it with speed pro hyper piston flat tops. I wanted to go to forged dome pistons, this is where it becomes a problem.

At First I was thinking the Twisted Wedge Street/Strip heads- But I can't find any domed pistons that are made for them for press fit connecting rods and I really don't want to buy another set or rods.

Then I was thinking Edelbrock RPM- But from the stuff I've read I'm kind of iffy good they are and how much they flow. But I can get a set of forged dome pistons for press fit rods for these heads, that will make about 10.5-1 compression.

Also thought about the Victor Jr.- From what I've read they seem to be pretty good heads, but some people think they are too much head for a 302, or 306 whatever, but even with the higher compression and a good cam and intake wouldn't that help.

Or, should I just stick with the speed pro hyper pistons, I will get about 9.2 compression with 60cc chamber heads.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Vic Jr.'s are not "too big of a head" for a 306..... cam it correctly and you'll see. Canfield 195's is also a good option, even if you decide to go the "stroker route" afterward. Hyper pistons?...... not an option in my book, but it's your call.

What cam do you think would work well with the Vic Jr.'s, I was thinking about getting the TFS stage 2, what would you recommend.

I don't know which heads I want to go with yet, the TW were my 1st choice, but the only forged dome pistons I can find for them are for floating pins and I don't want to buy another set of rods.
