Default What would you do next if you where me ?

I am making 408 rwhp with the mods in my sig. N/A on stock 241 heads (other than the springs locks and retainers) what should my next big mod be, heads? If so which ones?
I would like to do one more big mod between $1000-$2000 to put me in the 10's
The car has run a 11.22 on a 100 shot and this is my DD.

I am spraying it with a 100 shot and am thinking of going up to 150.
I also have 42LB injectors.

Thanks in advance. Hopefully we will get some different ideas here, don't be afraid to post up something different than the other guys do, this is just brainstorming.

I say do a rear end with an "acceptable" gear ratio, and do your 150 shot. You should hit your 10's

I have already done 1-4 above. I have a moser 12B. with a Locker and 4.11's w/33 splines

What heads would you get considering my cam and other mods?

Can I use my 8 year old 30K mile upgraded springs locks nad retainers or should i find fully assembled heads?

Definitely do springs and just make sure locks/retainers are compatible and reuse them.

Good heads will net ya some power, Personally I would talk to one of the fellas from texas speed. Also consider swapping to a light weight wheel setup Iknow my convo pros are so much lighter than the stockers its ridiculous. A good set of adjustable shocks will help your launch, I prefer the strange units. Thats whats on my car. All the power in the world is no good if you cant get the car to hook.

Well in that case I saw a slightly used set of Trick Flow 215's for $2000, setup with new dual coils....

thats an average price, you may want to check about the lifters though, from my understanding you have to run harlan rockers on the trick flows. But definately a top shelf head.
