What Next?

I have thought about getting some heads, but I think I'm going to wait on that until I know for sure what engine I will be going with. If I were to buy them now I would go with AFR 165's for my 5.0L, but if I go with a 351 I plan to go with 185's or maybe even 205's, so I don't want to buy heads just yet. Plus I think I'd like to try my hand at porting again with some 351 heads after I make a dyno run with them stock to see how much porting helps them out. Then go to some aluminum heads and dyno again. I think that would be really cool. Plus, I really believe my stock ported heads are flowing pretty good. I know aftermarket heads would really help out, but my car runs very close to the times my buddies car does and he has a similar setup but with Edelbrock aluminum heads.

I'm kinda partial to Maximum Motorsport stuff, but they are mostly for handling so I don't know. I have a friend who has South Side lift bars and his car will snap your neck pretty good if you aren't ready for it. I need more input
