Head Question

[Rocket]

Ever thing about adding about 100 HP nitrous plate? Should be cheaper than a set of heads. Use it only when you want.

Depends how much you use it

On the street with a 350 and that cam id think you be better off with the 180cc. The 200 would five you more tip end in theory and better peak numbers generally but you'll lose torque. As said the 180cc with either 1 5/8 or 1 3/4 headers and you'll be more than happy. Should be a little torquier with the 1 5/8 headers. Personally I run a set of 195cc 64cc chambered profiler heads that have been ported and blended along with a 1206 gasket matched performer rpm that has also had then plenum ported. All that us setup to match a howards retro roller .533 .548 cam. Should be a nice combo but haven't run it yet.

The more info you give us the better we can help. Also many head manufacturers will give you recommendations. Hope this helps

either way ill be happy.
gotta be better than the stock heads and cam that'll be on the car.

I would personally not go 200cc unless you plan a 383 or no street use. But what brands are you considering and what's your budget?

probably brodix ik 180's or afr elim 180 depending on money etc

The 180's will be a better head for the street. You need low end torque for acceleration and your gearing. I'd Nitrous it and run it for now, buy your parts and build a proper motor. Good luck with your Vette conquer! Us Vette guys LOVE stompin G Bodies! It's all in good fun! See ya on the Hiway!!! This shot was taken out of the back of my ZO6

i'd run a c-6 from redlight to redlight,

I forget what kind of GM car ate my ZO6 for lunch one day, may have been a GN, but I thought it was funny. Never forget to laugh at yourself and eat a little crow! I sold the C5ZO6 and am on the hunt for the right C6ZO6 now. There's always someone faster and you better be able to take it gracefully! HaHa!
Now, go buy some Nitrous!
