you can forget AFR right off the bat, 2300 is what you'll be paying for those. your headed in the right direction with a set of Jays heads, check the sponsosr section, i believe he was having a sale on some heads as well.
Yeah Heads are a good start Lance. Even the MTI 2E's are a good flowing head for @$1500. They are in that price range any ways another option to look at and they are hear in town. That is the heads we put on Jasons car he is happy with them. I personally bought TEA's for my car and I like them a lot but they were more than the $1500 price range but I am sure all the porters will have something for you in that price range. My suggestion is get on the phone and start calling these guys and start asking what you are getting for your money etc... and make your decision based on the best bang for your buck method.
