Default Need help on Head/Cam swap

I am looking into getting a head/cam swap, but have no idea what a good setup would be. My car is FI currently, but i am fixing to take it of and sell it. I an looking to spend between 2500-$3000. My car is a daily driver. So i looking for the most horsepower but being able drive it every day. I don't mind a little of a rough ride. also put down where i could buy these combos at. thanks in advance for the help.

The Best heads available right now seem to be AFR Heads, or TEA Heads. I have always heard good things about GTP and ARE also. If you are getting good heads I assume just getting a cam ground to match your heads would be your best bet. May I ask why your straying away from FI now?

Go with a set of STG 2 TEA 5.3 LTR heads and go with a G5X2 cam. I drive the TSP 231/237 cam everyday and in heavy traffic in memphis and its not a problem at all so i suggest the biggest cam possible
