Cylinder head advice.....
The wifey wants to spend another $500.00 on me for Christmas, so I'm thinkin' I want some heads. I have an 86E with Vortech blower and ported TPI intake, stock cam, and upgrades necessary for the boost levels I'm running.
Given that $ figure, I would need to stay with cast iron (I don't mind), and was thinking of going 64cc and 2.020/1.600 valves.
However, I don't know squat about intake runner sizes and the science behind them. I'm looking into picking up a Mini-ram intake shortly, and will be replacing gears/cam and such as a result.
It looks like I can choose anywhere between 170cc and 220cc intake runner sizes in that price range. Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

I would look into some AFR 195 or Dart Iron Eagles, but i would think about getting 72cc so the compression would not go up, because of the S/C boost. I would not go much bigger than a 195 runner just in case you take the S/C off and go N/A, you will still have good low end velocity.

I did find some 72cc Pro-Topline's, but with 235cc runner volume; way too much if I'm reading this correctly.
