Pick me a set of Heads
 
I need help choosing the correct size \ brand of heads for 540 setup. Here's what I have so far:
- Gen VI (9.8 block)
- Callies 4.25 crank
- JE 4.500 dished pistons \ 6.385 rods
- Crane 741 cam \ gold rockers
Will be running 5 lbs boost.
Desired Max RPM 5500-5600

I'm looking at AFR 315 cc flow, but not sure if I
should go with 325 or 335cc? (Or different head
altogether) What are your thoughts?

Heads
 
Don't waste your money on aluminum heads. (Especially in salt water) With a blower you will never see a difference. Buy Merlin 325cc or 345cc heads. Install inconnel exhaust valves, severe duty intake valves, 10 degree locks & retainers, Isky 8005 springs, 150lb seat, 425 open, and go. Use the GM head gasket. It seals better than any other gasket for a blower with moderate boost.

Good luck, Make sure you check your plugs before too many wide open passes.

315 AFR will work the best. Canfields 310cc is also a good choice.
