Default Should i get some heads???

My car is going for a dyno run and tune sometime before summer.

At the same time i will have the converter, trans cooler, line lock, updated exhaust, and ls6 intake installed.

It has never been tuned. SO, with my existing mods (see sig) it should run pretty good.

I saw a pretty good deal on some cnc ported 806 heads ($400) and now am trying to deiced if i try and scrounge up some additional funds to get heads right away.

I am thinking i would need some arp head bolts, head gaskets, and what else? to do that at this point? The cam was put in about 1,000 miles ago, and all the supporting stuff at that time too (chain, oil pump, springs, push rods...)

Assume i will save some money, since he will be taking my intake off already, so, might be cheaper to swap the heads. And also will save since he can do it all then tune it?

Any opinions? Advice???

Thanks guys!
