Before that can be answered, you'd have to define "best."

Best for the $? Best if you're poor? Best if your budget is unlimited? Best looking? Most likely to be famous?

Do some research.. everybody's got outrageous internet flow numbers.. but almost noone's got consistent high dyno numbers. Most are in the 37Xsae/38Xstd range with 230deg int. duration cams... which unfortunately, isnt really indicative of the nice flow numbers they all want to claim .

The best heads for our cars are the Arao Dominion 32V heads(as far as HP gains are concerned), if you have $5200 to buy them.

Right on. I've seen 400 out of a set that only flow 250 on a superflow 600

Do heads affect driveability and does anyone here have those arao dominion 32v heads how much more of a gain do you get from those compared to something like air flow research heads. Is it worth the extra money at all.

I think only two people on this board have those heads, but they haven't put them on yet so no real results. Check out www.araoengineering.com, they have some dyno results there. You will be amazed. And heads shouldn't affect dribeability if done properly.
