How do compare heads and intake.
How do you know when one head is better. There is a guy with an engine that is alot like the one I am going to build. I want to be greedy and have more HP. He has TFT Twised Wedge heads stagge II. They are fully ported with flow 300cfm int. and 220 exhaust. For a daily driver what would be better flowing heads that will give you more HP?
The Lower intake is the 351W GT-40 fully ported lower-Heat/oil coated on lower side and the top is ceramic coated. The upper intake is a Stock Cobra that is fully ported with shortened runners, extending the plenum. What would be an intake set up that would flow better? I was looking at doing AFR 205 fully CNC ported with either a fully ported Edlebrok or Trickflow Intake. Any ideas on if any of these sets up will flow better and give me more HP? Thanks everyone.

Well it depend's on how many cubes you have.
If your running a 302 then I would go with the AFr 165 these heads are kick ***. A 205 will do no good for you anless your turnin 7500 rpm. The small heads will give you lots of torque compared to the 205 which will make your car feel like a honda till 4000. I have seen guys with the 165's and an rpm intake and E303 run 12.30's Na on daily drivers. A bigger combo is not always better, its a well matched combo that will give you the sucess your looking for. Good luck with whatever you decide

In that case the 205's would be a good choice.
My buddy is building a 351 based 383 stroker with 8.5:1 comp. with a NOVI 2000 it will be a monster. If you need any help with it email me and ill get you in contact with him and he can let you know what is required to get everything working.
