    Need a new head, Need help choosing.

    I'll make the story short, I am in the market for a new head for various reasons. I have a 325is and need to know if there are any options for heads that I can put on the car that would give some performance. I figured I would get a little on the butt dyno as long as I am making repairs. Any help would be appreciated, thx in advance.

    Replace it with the same head that's on it, the "885". Not much out there as far as performance replacements.

      alright, someone said i should get a bike and just peddle my ass to work and slowly build a nice head for it. sounds like a plan to me. unless someone miraculously has one with a big cam, big valves, and beefy rockers already in it who's willing to sell.

          This can be a very quick and easy swap to replace it with another stock head used for 200$

            +1. It won't be cheap tho.

            If your intent is an adventure limited to your head, you could spend an assload of money and gain only <10hp. It would be measurable on a real dyno, but anyone that thinks they can sense 10hp with their butt dyno is dreaming.
