Default twisted wedge heads question

ok im in the market for heads and i was into getting a set of patriots but have further investigated found out there hit or miss. i wasl ooking into twisted wedge heads but there 2.02/1.60. i was told if i use that big of valves it will take my motor out of its rpm range and make power whee id ont want it to. ( street car). is this true? i found a sick deal on some t/w heads and 2 sets of rocker arms for 750$. if not im gonna stick to the edelbrock heads with 1.90 intake valves.

Im glad you told us, your getting a 347 soon, because you dont want to go buy something that will not let the 347 Breath.


400 HP 347 ftw.
