Ijust bought a set of AFR heads on ebay and have a choice of 58 or 61 cc.
Which one should I get?

58cc will raise compression, but I believe they are also stud mount heads... so beware when buying rockers... you may want to get the heads first before you drop money on the rockers and find out you have the wrong ones.

I bought Harland Sharp 1.6 roller rockers to go with them.

Like I said...
Set up complete for .600 lift hydraulic roller cam, stud mount, upgraded KCR springs, Comp Cams 10 degree retainers and locks, these flow 250/190 cfm.

It's funny that KC says they ported them, but those are the same flow #'s that AFR offers up.... Hmmm.

Go w/ the 58cc chamber. In addition to a slight compression boost, I've been told the chambers are designed differently on the 61cc heads....take that FWIW since I have no real proof of that.

Yeah, that was brought up on another site.
The reason I bought these is that they have the upgraded springs which are normally about $180.

I never found them for less than $1329 and that was with the regular springs.
