Lots of choices...depends on how much you want to spend. With that said my old setup was PRC 5.3 heads with the Torquer v2, and it did great for what it was

Name your cylinder head budget first. The amount of good heads for that cam is quite large and the price range is just as big.

Do you already have the Torquer V2 cam, or is it a cam you want to get?

May want to send the heads you have off to advanced inductions and have them worked over. You're really limiting yourself for a budget of $1000......have you thought about saving up until you can get some good heads?

For roughly $1000 cylinder head budget, unless you find a smoking deal on good set of used heads, you're best and only bet would be to get your current stock heads ported. One good reputable place to get your heads ported would be Advanced Induction, as previously mentioned. You'll still get great performance for the money porting your stock heads, and it'll definitely help your current Torquer V2 cam shine.
