351w stroked to 438ci what r the best heads

I'm building a 438ci stroker
dart block
eagle crank
eagle h beam rods
je 14.5 to 1 piston
was plaining on the afr heads # 1456 w/225's. This is going to be a all out race engine with two stages of nitrous. Is this the best head to run with this set up ? I have read so much on so many different heads I'm like duhhhhh !!!!
Anyone out there have any advice ?

Re: 351w stroked to 438ci what r the best heads

the 225's will work but I think they are a bit on the small side, IMO. I was going to suggest Victor Sr's but you already have pistons, so they're out. How about a set of high ports? Wait...you'd have to have the pistons cut for those too I believe.

I know if I was doing a dart block 438, I'd put a set of ported Victor Sr's on it and let it eat. Matter of fact, I'm thinking about doing just that....just need to save up the $$$ for the block & heads.

Any of the Victor Srs, TFS High Port as mentioned. You spent alot of money on the bottom end, dont skip on the top

The world products Man-O-war are the best but there a little high. A set of AFR 225 would be the best bet that is with in reasonable reach .

My 438 made 615hp on pump gas with a 252/260, .649lift cam 114lsa and 10.6 compression with afr 225 heads and a ported super victor. With more compression and cam who knows???

TFS R heads ported by a reputable company and you will make lots and lots of horsepower, just to name one. There are a few cylinder heads you can go with that will make lots more power over an out of box head, If you use a company that knows what there doing
