Larger runners can make more peak power numbers but if you're still stock
cubes...then the 215 will make more average power throughout the power
band by virtue of better port velocity....Chris 1313 runs ten-ohs with this
head on stock lower

TFS or AFR hands down. Can't go wrong with an aftermarket casting.

PRC 2.5 heads are great for the money...I have them with the V3 cam and gained
90 rwhp on a slipping clutch. But he's looking for premium heads. Cant go wrong with Trickflow or anything from TSP

Also...I think you will easily gain 50rwhp or more with good heads on that setup. Good choice of parts, that thing will scream after a solid tune.
