You are going to get a hundred different answers here. Lloyd Elliot is the option I went with for my heads. Many will tell you to go AI over Lloyd. Seeing peoples numbers the guys with AI heads seem to make a little more power than the Elliot ones do but many variables could be involved there. As far as the cam I personally would say have whoever you hire to do your head work spec you a cam. Whether you go AI or Elliot portworks you can't go wrong.

Go forged or go home on the stroker kit. Worked stock heads a very good when done right. Could go Trick Flow as cast or Airflow reasearch for a bolt on head but those will usually still cost more then worked stockers. Check out Lloyd Elliot or Advanced Induction for reworked stock heads. Advanced also will do after market heads as well.
