Default advice and opinions

i want heads, and i found a company called TRISTATECYLINDERHEADS.com, they offer a decent selecton.and they r cheap(comparing to other companys) 550-650 aluminum and assembled.the only thing is, no one has heard of this company (addermike has) but i havnt heard enough info on them to rule them out.5.0 mag did a 3-4 page spread on the company.
i want good flow,drivability, its for my daily driver, and i wwant reliability more than anything else.but still be able to make good power.

get all the specs... when i see aluminum heads cheap they end up being 2.02 intake valves and you probably will have to flycut your pistons for them

i see edelbrock 1.9/1.6 sell for $700 used quite often or similar

get some of those and have some modest porting done to them, concentrate on the exhaust, and valve job. match the intake to them and you'll have what you want

just my $.02
