Fast Burn Heads?
Vortech Heads?

He has a mild cammed 305TBI with suspension work.

He is going to be putting long tube headers with a 3000 stall.

But right now he has a stock stall. Anyway

Which would be a better choice?

Also, if we add Long Tube Headers, and the 3000 stall, what do you think a mild cammed 305TBI would run?

 

Definetly go with vortechs over fastburns....if he's got some cash he should look into something like the E-tec 170s (under $1200 complete pair).

Out of those 2 choices, I would go with the vortecs. I do remember seeing a Vortec conversion kit for TBI trucks awhile back in a Jegs or Summit I think, that might be his best bet if he can find the kit.

 

i say vortecs as well,especially if its going to be more of a street car. buy them already hopped up w/ screw in rocker studs and upgraded springs.

you will have to get a Vortec specific intake manifold as well.

P.S. DO NOT try to put a stock set of heads on a cammed car. you said mild cam,im not sure what your definition of mild is,but almost any cam a little larger than stock will rip the press in studs right out and then its game over.

 

fastburn heads..

in fact buy mine, they are already ported and springs adjusted ready to go for you.

 

Fastburn heads are too big for a TBI, especially a 305. With the stock Vortec heads, you'll lose compression as the stock 305 heads are 58cc's combustion chamber and the Vortec are 64cc's.

 

I'll add another vote for the Vortec heads just because of the price/performance ratio...

 

if that was the case i'd say save and buy an ls1.

 

Heh - you laugh, but that's why I haven't ordered my AFRs yet... I'm thinking about selling my HSR & just going with an LS1/T-56 combo...

 

honestly as cheap as they are becoming it makes more sense. the only way i'd consider it again is if i were to use a carb.
