heads and cam combo for stock lq4
im new to the ls world. i have a 96 s10 with a bone stock lq4 with edelbrock intake and proform 750 race carb and msd-6010. Need to know what cam makes good power and sounds good? stick with the stock 317 heads and do work to them or buy some different heads? first pass down the track it went 12.53, second pass 12.38. Its not gonna be a daily driver but i do wanna be able to get in it and drive it to the track which is about 30 miles away. Any help from the ls gurus would be appreciated im totally clueless on this stuff.

This is my stock LQ4 with stock heads milled .030 and i touched them up a bit with my carbides, not much though with a Trex cam, this was all motor spinning a bit and went 7.2 @ 97 MPH 1.6 60 foot, that is a low 11 second pass in the 1/4. I will be switching to milled and ported 243s to aim for a 6 second pass and 10s all motor in the 1/4, but this is just a general idea for you. 1 chamber flowmasters for exhaust, dual 3 inch.

Car should be about 3200 with out mi big *** and 3500 with. Head work at my local machine shop was 220$ for the milling and valve job. I did the grinding o the heads, but i didnt do much, had it all dont in about 6 hours and that means i didnt do much other than clean them up.
