Do a search in this particular forum on the subject, most lean towards the AI 200 or the LE2 or 3 (AI= Advanced inductions, LE = Lloyd Elliot Portworks)

I'd start with the bolt-ons first.

Honestly, I would send in your stock heads and have them ported by LE or AI as mentioned above. And then get a custom grind cam from them or have them reccoment you a cam for your goals for your car. I personally went AI and couldnt be happier but i'm sure you wont be disapointed with either choise as they are both proven to be pretty good.

I went 7.20s in the 1/8 with those heads. There a pretty good head for out of box. The le and ai stock ported heads are great also. I would look into a custom grind cam tho.

I'd go ported stocker too. I love mine. If you don't want to be without a car while youre waiting on your heads I've got a set of stockers sitting in my garage waiting for someone to buy. X2 on the custom grind. Wether you go with Lloyd or AI if you call them and give em you're info they'll custom spec you one right there. They are both great to work with.

Ported stock heads are better choices than just about every other as-cast aftermarket head available.
