Well I would go stage 2, what are you looking to spend, the cheapest heads out there that are good quality are the RGR Stage 2 heads from Speed Inc.

My friend made 402rwhp and 390rwtq with those heads and a smaller cam than yours..that was through a BIG unlocked converter..

Any of the SII heads from all our vendors will benefit you greatly. Call them up and tell them your goals and see what they cna do for you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

P.S. I have a set of bare 99 new, never used, ran LS1 heads you could use for a core charge, $250 + shipping (valvegod sells his for $275 + shipping) Saves you on the $300+ core charge <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
