I thought about getting Powerheads. But they are 700 bucks plus core. It would probably cost another 100 bucks to ship your old ones back. I have also heard of people having problems with these heads. Go on http://www.thecorral.net and do a search for Powerheads. I personally think a few hundred bucks extra for a set of Trickflows is the way to go. I am going to get a set as soon as the wife stops spending all my money.

The regular heads are supposed to work with stock pistons. I think they also need longer pushrods. What kind of problems have you had with yours? I heard that the early ones had valve guide problems but that was supposedly corrected. AFR heads sound like a quality piece, but they are expensive.

TC50 has them - maybe he could chime in on this one. He has been running them for a few years. I know he is building a new engine with more cubes. I am curious what kind of heads he will be running on it.
