You could get a new set of heads to go with the present cam if you like it. For the cam you have, your horsepower is excellent. Also, a good set of heads will increase your horsepower by an average of 40. AFR's are a good set of heads. I personally purchased a set of TSP's terminator heads with a MS3 cam-most of my driving is done at the track. If most of your driving is done on street for a DD, I think a new set of heads is your ticket and hardly no tunning would be required. Hope this helps and good luck.

Do the heads, definetly. Then if you not happy with the cam, you can just change it out with little exspense and alot less work.

i dunno, . explain more about your setup, what you like and don't like, . . . for a cam like that, heads are recommended but not a necessity, . . the bigger you go on a cam the more the need for a set of heads to utilize the power. If you're pretty happy with that cam i would jus do some heads - maybe TSP's LS6 CNC ported ones, . . you don't need that expensive of heads for a low to mid size cam, . . . you should be over 400 hp and have great low-to-mid torque, . . .

hope that helps

I did heads with my tr224 and after a stong tune got some very nice results. So like mentioned above, do heads with the oppurtunity of going bigger with the cam.
