AFR's, All Pro's or I've heard that Trick Flow is supposed to be coming out with a nice set of LS1 style heads that flow some crazy numbers. I would buy the best fuel system components I could afford. I'd get either a Weldon system or a Barry Grant system and Aeromotive makes some affordable stuff also.

Take a look at the Patriot Performance LQ9 CNC'd heads. The heads flow decent numbers, come with titanium retainers, valvesprings that will handle a high lift camshaft, plus head gaskets and head bolts are included. I would use ARP head studs instead though, for your application. Bob

Honestly the heads will vary compression but you just cant go slap a set of heads on any 408. Your going to need a large dished piston to achieve 9:1 or lower compression using a 408 cubic inch motor. You will also need a hell of a fuel system, a highly upgraded supercharger setup with a large head unit. The list can go on forever. Your looking at a 20,000 dollar or more build to do it the right way.
