Dark 5.0 185's won't even work with the stock pistons.

I've decided to do shortie headers, off-road h-pipe, gears, shifter, Steada #18 cam, 76MM C&L mass-air, and a 65 or 70mm TB.

What I haven't decided on are the heads and intake. It down to a set of ported GT-40P's(thanks Eric) with a Cobra intake or a set of ported TFS twisted wedge heads(thanks again Eric) and a Edelbrock performer intake or TFS intake.

I know the TFS heads will make more power....but they'll also cost a good bit more money. What do you think the differences in 1/4 mile times would be?

BTW, if you rocket scientists haven't figured it out yet, I'm getting a 5.0 in the near future(this winter)
