You are going to go through the work of swapping cylinder heads and you aren't going to swap the cam at the same time?

Beg, borrow, and steal! JK.

Gotcha. Yeah, I guess it would be best to put on the ported heads now. I would imagine that it would run ok with a stock tune, but I can't say so with any certainty.

MAF makes up for a multitude of sins. It will help the engine see the extra airflow and it will be fine. Not optomized but no problem driving it or even running it hard.

You'll be fine w/o the tune. Honestly you won't notice much of a difference from the heads until you do the cam swap but in your situation I think it's smart to have the heads worked now.
