Default engine need to breath better.

I have a cam only 04 gto.Well its got LTs too.But i when i come home on mid tour leave me and my wife wil be driveing from coastal GA to central OK.I fell like my car would perform better if it could breath better.I was thinking buy a set of stock,bare 243 heads.Do you have any sugestions that doesnt cost over 400.00?And do you think stock 243 heads would be enough.Right now im running the stock 241s.Thanks guys..mods in sig

Stock 243s would not be a bad idea beacuse out of the box they perform better then the stock 241s will. This would also give you the chance to get them ported later on down the road, 243s can make some pretty good power once ported and with larger valves.
