    The question is, who do i believe about the heads???

    i was looking into some after market heads (such as the Dart and others) but they added up to be around $1000, where as the vortec are around $500.

    is it worth the extra bucks, or would they be better spent else where?

    The q-jets do sounds the best (just a pain to tune apparently) as the low torque is better. maybe i use the $500 i save by getting vortec heads, and put it towards a quad weber 2barrel stack. even though the initial cost of buying 4 weber si s high, ive heard you can get much better torque and marginally better fuel economy for the same top end power, when compared to an equivalent 4 barrel (thats if they are all tuned PROPERLY)

    too many choises

    oh and over here the pump gas is around 90, but for extra $$$ you can get 95 or so
    THE DART S/S IRON EAGLE HEADS SELL FOR AROUND $570 WITH VALVE SPRINGS IN THEM GOOD TO .510. SEE COMPETIONPRODUCTS.COM OR 1-800-233-0199.
