In that case i'd do Mast hands down. They make some of the best heads around IMO. I have TSP heads, and while they are great for the money, they simply dont compare. Thats just my opinion

Richard @ WCCH. Less expensive than MAST, better head work than TSP. Mast has some cool ****, but damn it's expensive... Not knocking TSP either, hell I almost went to work for them when they were still out in Lubbock, but I'd still give Richard a call.

Between the two, cost aside, MAST hands down,
I would suggest MMS as well.

Texas speed will give you a better quality product than MAST will.
If everyone is throwing their hat in the ring, you can get what you want from trick flow also, whether you go with their as cast or cnc heads and be on your budget or less for what you are looking at.
Going too big would be the issue. Stay at a 220-235 cc runner at most unless you just want all high rpm peak in a cathedral or less than 260cc for rec port. Building a larger cid engine or using a larger bore would help out as well esp for the larger runners.

I have never dealt with MAST but have heard good things and bad things.
I have used Texas Speed many times and they have great customer service. They have put together a few packages for me, which all outperformed my expectations. I would go with TSP.

Also, Look into Mamo.

Mast are over priced and not any great #'s. I would go trickflow touched up by Tooley, Mamo Heads or Trickflows by Advance Inductions.
