What more vague of answer can I give you with that non-infomative question?

Youve got too many to choose from. What kind of budget are you talking about? Chances are theres only a 10 rwhp difference between the budget heads and some of the 2000+ heads, so it depends how much you really want to eek out.

It's more appropriate to pick the expensive item (heads) that you want, and then let the cheaper item (cam) be the variable.

If you get the Terminators, please post results. TSP said they've sold a bunch of them, but nobody seems to be willing to post results other than one car. I'd like to see enough to see a pattern of how they'll perform.

I asked this question to one of the TSP guys about my car. I have the original torquer in my car, very similar grind. They told me to go with the stg 2.5 5.3 heads.
