Have your stock heads ported.
Either of the links below will hook you up with a great set of heads and a matching cam if you want it.
(You can even pick up a set of used heads for $150-$175 and have them ported then sell yours when you are done if you want to keep downtime to a minimum)

Go with stock ported heads. Send yours to Lloyd Elliott and get the LE2 package, you'll be very happy with them and the power they will make.

The stock heads, ported, will be more efficient than a set of off the shelf aftermarket heads. If you got the money, get a good set of aftermarket heads and then have them ported. I paid Lloyd 1950 for his LE2 heads, a great cam, and he ported my intake. Not to mention the entire valvetrain was replaced. 2.02 intake 1.58 exhaust and patriot gold extreme springs. I bielieve the valve locks are also titanium but I could be wrong. Lloyd also has extremely good customer service, he always answers the phone. He even explained how to set the valve lash to me. I have heard good things about AI as well, but have not done any buisness with them.

If you already have that cam and it's not installed I would sell it and go with a custom grind from whoever you have port the heads. The old technology cc305 will be done quite a bit on power vs. a custom grind matched to your setup. Just a heads up to squeeze the most out of your setup!

Have him grind on your intake too right away. For 200 bucks theres no point in leaving a relatively substantial chunck of power on the table.
