    Heads.

    If you've got the money for Victor Jr. heads then you should buy some AFR's

    I have 70 windsor heads on my 347. I am not happy with them. Everything on my engine should be making more power than it is. I am convinced the heads are holding me back. I already ported and gasket matched the exhaust but I still don't think these heads are working very well. I'd use the vic jrs.

    Your car kicks butt. Are you not wearing a helmet? Fast car for no can on your head.
