The low end on the 231/237 isn't all that great either. It loves it up in the 5-6800 range...... Really hates it down around 1500-2500, surging and such. BUT I really like mine and I could live with it as a daily. Thinking of going to the F14 myslef..

i just installed the f14 on a 114 lsa here, its well worth it, if ur going to daily drive the auto id get 114.... if u want mad lope and possibly more idle trouble get the 112.. im going to set my f14 to idle at about 825-850, should lope plenty, and daily drive good.. course i also got the 114lsa cuase of the spray.

I don't think you have got the best from the 228/232 you have now.
I would say that your heads are whats stopping you making good numbers. They are the constriction in the system.
With good heads you will see a vast improvement at both ends.
Save your money and get some heads. You already have all the other bolt-on's.
Good luck.

It sounds like your tune is off. Have someone else/reputable retune the car.

Low mileage 241 casting heads with good valves for $125 shipped
Machine work to resurface for piece of mind - $100
Porting kit - $60
Valve lapping compound - $5
PRC Gold kit - $255
MLS head gaskets - $38
Stock GM headbolts - $50

Installation, bowl blending and light porting done by myself.

Before heads best 1/4 et - 12.11 @ 112
After heads best 1/4 et - 11.80 @ 115 tune unchanged
