![]() There are some many different heads out there and they are driving a fellow crazy. This winter i'm building my 302 and on the bottom end of things i'm just gonna bore it 30 over and put forged pistions in it. I am hoping to run somewhere in the 12's if thats possible. I am wondering what is the best head out there if there is just one. I would like to here feed back on what you guys have used and experienced. Cast iron or aluminum it doesn't matter nor does the price. Thanks

![]() Absolutely the 165 head. Doesn't give up much flow to the 185 and with the smaller runners, it will make more torque than the 185 on the street - VERY important for driveability! AFR 165 + Crower 15511 + Cobra/Explorer intake with ported lower = 300RWHP and 12s should come very easy at 3300# weight.

![]() TW is also a good head and about $300 cheaper, but it doesn't usually make the quite as much power in stock form.

![]() They are awesome cast iron heads that flow well.But I would go with the AFR 185s if you are looking to go with a higher flowing head.The roush heads are way better than the GT40 heads iron or aluminum.
