Default New 351 Heads.... which heads???

I am looking at getting new heads for my roller 351. Compression is 10.5:1 with 60cc chamber, cam is lunati .589 lift, and car is street driven mostly. I have 210cc procomps, highly modified, but wonder how much power im leaving behind using them. I have under $2k to work with for new ones and T/W's require new pistons... not in the budget. Any suggestions? 5 speed car, 3.55's, looking for most usable power, good peak power numbers and speed.

Anyone????? Id like to hear whats worked well for others. I just need some advice from personal experience. AFR 205's? Victor Jr's? RHS 215's? TFS High ports? Ive looked into all of them. What would be best? Something not even on that list?

you wont gain a whole hell of alot buying a new set of heads. IMHO, if it runs good, just leave it alone and save the money.

Thanks for the reply. I contemplated that option too. Maybe a dyno session might ease my mind. Anyone else have a different opinion?

that will be the general consensus around here... If you want more power, look into a nitrous kit
