Heads heads and more heads...
 
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

AFR 185s
Edelbrock Victors
Trick flow track heat
canfield

Those will help you get in the 12s faster :)

AFR 165, no Brainer

I will second the afr 165 motion

afr 185 gets my vote

185's are too big for a mild 306 IMO

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.

TFS Twisted Wedge= The best head for the money.

Be sure that's Andy:D

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

I agree 100%. Then later when you want more, you can just simply have them ported by Fox lake, Panhandle Performance, Bennet, etc. At that put your Afr's 165 wouldn't even come close. So to sum this up, TFS heads are the best bang for the buck and alot of room to stretch your legs out later!
Good Luck

Does anyone have any opinion on those World Products Roush 200 heads from summit. I was looking into those and i was wondering if they are any good.

Roush 200s
 
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.
