What do you consider a better head (without going to a raised runner or non-23 degree set-up? Just curious what you have used that runs better than 227AFRs on a 427+SBC?.... Thanks.

I have a 427 SBC 13.7:1 with a big 8000+rpm roller and AFR 227 heads...The engine has been 9.6-9.8 @ 139 @ 3400lbs, I think AFR 227 heads are enough head for a big SBC.

Just my 2.5 cents
Just think how good it'd run with the proper heads :P Bigger CI SB motors need better heads to work like they are capable of is what I am saying. I've had the afr 227's on a 434 ran good but surely would of ran a heck of a lot better with a better head.
