i know the 185's are better than all of these but then i have to notch my pistons and thats more work than i want to do right now. did you ever dyno the car with those heads? and what combo did you have?

i have a track heat intake, f-cam, all the bolt ons, gears, exhaust, soon to be 30lb injectors and mass air, pullys,electric fans, cold air intake, 70mm throttle body. i want as much power as i can get without have to pull the motor to notch the pistons. and i have about $1500 to work with.

once you have the heads off, it's pretty easy to notch the pistons with the motor in the car, not that you asked though.

Aaron c. and 93pony just notched some pistons from what I hear with a tool that fits into the bore and uses a dril or something similar. A little time comsuming from what I hear but overall not that bad of a job done.
