Default I would like everyones expertise on this one.

I have been trying to decide what heads and cam to get for my 94 GT. Was going to go RHS but Id rather not notch my pistons. Looking for a true bolt on cylinder head. I also do not want afr only because i do not want to raise my compression so high due to my KB, I plan on running up to 10lbs of boost. I was looking at Dart Headsand a Lunati cam, let me know what ya think.

although many may disagree with me....[:@] if you want the easy you could try the trick flow set up with the twisted wedge combo.... the tfs stage 1 cam is close to what you chose from lunati and the twisted wedge combo doesnt require piston notches and you get 2.02/1.60 valves ....just a idea

Ya i thought about that, but the dart heads have bigger exhaust runners and im really looking for a good exhaust flow with the supercharger.

i was in the same boat as you a little while ago. I have a vortech, didnt want to notch my pistons and didnt want to go with a smaller chamber size on the AFR'sso i went with canfield heads and a custom ground cam from jay alan at camshaft innovations. The cam has .565 lift and still had tons of PTV clearance. But it would be about $150-$175 more than those parts your looking at. Just an idea

This is what my car just did on the Dyno a few weeks ago with a Trick Flow Top End kit....Please note the day I was at the Dyno it was 95 degrees and humid as hell...Also the last run after the car cooled down for about 20 minutes it did 422 and that is a very safe street tune-I drive it on the 422 tune.

Also if you look at Anderson Ford Motorsports...they have built some sick 5.0s...they love the Twisted Wedge Heads...

Also note that Heads and Cams are a touchy subject...everyone has a strong opinion...my opinion is the Twisted Wedge Heads are great for the money and the Stage 1 cam sounds good and makes nice blower power all the way to 6k.

me personally im not a fan of trickflow, id tell you afrs, but you already stated that you dont want afr's so. for what your looking to do though trickflow probably is your best bet. if you werent worried about compression, afr's all the way.

DO NOT GET THE TWISTED WEDGE! FFS, how many times do I gotta say this, the TW's are glorified GT-40 heads.[:@]. Get the HIGH PORTS (TFS)! Those too can handle up to .550" lift without notching and are available in 2 cumbustion chamber sizes. While the box stock unit flow basically the same as AFR 185's with a stage 1 cnc port job they almost double the flow.
Im not a fan of dart heads. Not enough bang for the buck IMO. Theyre good SBC heads but not really for SBF.
