Which heads?

Well with Christmas coming up and I get a financial aid check from college I'm gonna try to get some heads. I know the Trickflows are the best but with needing roller rockers and all that would there be a cheaper solution that would give similar gains?

you can use stock rockers with trick flows,you need to shim them correctly.get some trunnion bearings for the rockers.you will need longer push rods too.

Our PRC 215cc heads are a comparable aftermarket casting head which does not require aftermarket rockers to work correctly. The heads will feature the thicker aftermarket casting, 13.5 degree valve angle, 2.04" intake and 1.60" valves, and a 62cc chamber to start with. By the time christmas rolls around we might even be offering a sale on them.

Using a financial aid check from college to buy heads sounds like a bad idea. I think that means I'm getting old.
