Default Which Heads will flow best for my 1991 GT

hi, i have been looking for some heads for a little while now, and i have found several but i dont know how to interprate the numbers im being given. what am i looking for in a good flowing head? also, i have 2 options on my plate as of now, a set of ported and polished factory heads, or a set of GT40P heads. will the gt40's outflow a set of ported and polished factory heads, i beleive E7's.

also here is a quick quote from the description, what do these numbers mean to me??

ALUMINUM - 60CC CHAMBERS - 2.05/1.60 - 210CC INTAKE


thanks for any help!!
-Vinny

go with the gt40P's. they are aluminum, and that will shave about 50 pounds of weight off. plus they flow better than ported E7's.

GT40 p's are cast, but still are better than the E7's. As for the 60 cc = chamber volume, 2.05 is the intake valve size/ 1.6 exhaust size. 210 should be intake runner volume, check to make sure they are not X castings or Y castings if they are alluminum.

I would try to find a head that has 64 cc chambers, 1.94 intake/1.6 exhaust for a street driver. Yes alluminum transfers heat better and you ussually can run alittle more timing without detenation.

hey, i know this is a bit offtopic, but i want to try to avoid making another thread for something that seems to me like a dumb question. someone told me today i need to basically take the motor apart agian to put my new cam in, am i better off leaving my upper/lower off and the heads as well while i install my new cam? or was this guy just smoking crack when he was tellin me this stuff. i really dont have a clue. i thought it was just, water pump and timing goodies need to come off the front of the motor to get the cam out.?
