Get stage 2 heads-2.02 Intake 1.60 exhaust-I have this setup and it rocks.The X1 cam is very affective and with a set of stage 2 heads its all good.I would say definitely get stage 2 heads-theres a lot of good heads out on the market right now-I say just go ahead and get the MTI S2's.

thanks for that fast reply. Are there any other suggestions on heads? I'm pretty sure the X1 cam is the way to go from what I see everyone posting .

My 382 Ls1 Stroker get the same if not a little better gas mileage then my stock motor. Im running the X1 Cam on a 112 Lsa. I have stage 2 heads done by a local porter and my car makes great power. I would suggest you to stay with 2.02 1.60 valves. Since you will be keeping your stock bore you dont need a monster intake valve.
