Default Good heads for 88 GT?

Hey, i was wondering if anyone knows some info on what type of heads i should use. I just put in an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold on along with a 70 mm TB. Would Edelbrock heads go best....i heard GT-40's are better...?

word on the street is that just about anything is better than gt-40.


Edelbrocks are good. AFR 165 are good street heads.

I take it you've already switched to Mass air? 70mm TB is too big for just an intake - you need to be making quite a bit more power than stock before it's a benefit.
