What heads for SC?

Originally I was going to go NA on my 305 with some vortec heads and an LT1 cam. I think what I really should do is get a Holley or Weiand underhood roots blower with a 750 cfm carb and be done with it.

Would that work out ok on stock lo3 heads, or should I get some diff heads? Stock cam prolly best on a blower?

Car is a 91 RS with TBI, but I don't have emissions testing so I can go carb and ditch the FI.

Stock LO3 heads would be a massive restriction with a blower, i'd recommend ditching those before dropping the money on a blower actually.
And no, the cam sucks no matter what, another thing i'd toss.

What kind of heads would you recomend? I can't use the vortecs with the roots blower so I was thinking about some aluminum l98s if I can find them.

Yes you can. They make a 142 blower for Vortec heads:

That's the polished version. The plain aluminum one is #6542.

Re: What heads for SC?

mildly ported 081 heads would work but i'd open them up alot. Stock L98 aluminum heads dont flow all that much more than stock iron heads, they just have a better exhaust. they do respond well to porting which i'd do as well with the blower.

Else you can pickup a set of summit aluminum heads which are made by trickflow, 175cc runners for about 900 bucks. they will be great for a 305.

Get ones with bigger chambers for use with a blower. L98 iron are good.
