Title says it all. Just wondering what the specific differences between the two are. Looking to eventually buy a set for the 349 I'm building but wasn't sure which ones to get. The part numbers for them are 1422 for the regulars and 1426 for the competitions. Thanks.

So you guys think they're worth the extra $400 or whatever it is? I'll be using them with a trickflow r intake and a comp cams 236 xfi. Thanks for the help.

I had them on my 306 turbo car and it ran strong. If your are running N/A Then you should check the flow numbers on your intake, if it doesn't flow enough you won't see much gain. $400 is a pretty good deal for heads that flow that much better IMO. I'm sure some smart ass will have something to say but I'm speaking from my experience.
