How about you tell us something about the motor before you pick the wrong heads.

Ah with the crappy TPI on the top the cam doesn't matter too much. On a budget with the TPI I would get the Brodix Iron Street heads or Dart Irons Eagle; something in say a 185cc intake runner.

what is your budget? that also has a lot to do with your selection, and you still have to account for everything else that is needed for the install.

Do you have a PN on the pistons, so compression ratio can be figured? Do this before you buy your heads.

the guy above know his stuff besides a zr1 he has a killer 60s elcamino that makes some very big hp with a some what small cam . but i think he would agree on a budget you cant go wrong with heads from afr. If you pm him he will steer you very right . a very good bud of his does development work for AFR

Default heads

If you can wait about a month I will be putting up for sale a set of AFR 195's model 1038 with less than 1000 miles and still like new.
These are 74cc chamber which will gve you aprox. 9.6 cr with a flat top piston. Will be looking to get in the $995 range for the pair.
I even still have the original packaging for shipping.
