Default Heads

I have a stock cam and a Trick Flow Street Heat intake. I already have a set of 1.7 roller rockers and a new set of valve springs. i was planning on putting them on my heads but i may buy new heads and use the rockers on them. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good set of heads that will work well with a stock cam. Im thinking 1.90 intake valves and 1.6 exhaust, does this sound good so far? Also I was wondering about combustion chamber size? any suggestions? please let me know, thanks

yes for a smallblock with not enough power. afr 165's are good all around they have a good valvetrain on them as far as valves, springs and such if you get them fully assembled. it depends on what compression you want to go with. if you are going naturally aspirated the 58cc will bump your compression and give you more horspower, but if you were going a supercharger route then lower compression heads such as the 61cc will help with detonation and running lower octane fuel. so if you are going boosted then i would look for a 64cc head, but you also could go 61cc blown and have the advantage of a little higher compression with tthe boost.

OK well I was thinking about 58cc heads because I plan on being naturally aspired. with the stock cam, i assume i should go with 1.90 intake and 1.60 exhaust valves?
