T-Man in North Carolina makes some really good heads. I am sure they are priced about the same or maybe higher than Head-Quarters. http://www.tmanperformance.com/

heres my .02 worth.&nbsp\\; i would try a revolution performance 98" kit jugs and pistons for 1100$ then send the original head to big boys in me. for a port and polish head job for 299$ add cams for about 345$ and keep the lift to 510. compression will be at about 9.5 to 1 runs on pump gas and you will see stump pulling torque in the 110 ft/lbs area and 98 to 101 hp!
