Default help with head selection

I was thinking about buying some heads. My choices are SPS haymakers, TF 255's or ported LSA's. What are your guys thoughts. I will add cam and ported LSA blower with Meth on 93 octane. ARH 2" primaries, What areyour guys thoughts. Is the extra cash for haymakes or TF worth it over ported LSA heads.

Call the manufacturer and talk to tech support.

If it were me, and I was going with a ported LSA blower...I'd probably go with some WCCH ported LSA heads. Flow data looks nice on those.

I would put the money towards other mods if you are going blower. Stock heads will easily take everything a LSA blower can put out. Put it towards a solid fuel system, or drivetrian.

I went with a set of haymakers. But now I need to determine combustion chamber size. I always thought bigger was better. more room for boost. How wrong am I. How can I determine the correct size for my application

Chamber size depends on compression ratio you want .Bigger is not better.
