Default What heads should I go with?

I was wondering if anybody had some suggestions for what heads I should go with on my 93 LX hatch. I have just purchased a Ford Racing E303 camshaft for my car and am having a hard time choosing what heads I should use. I also plan to run my car with the Hellion 62mm turbo kit. I currently have 3.55 gears, BBK shorty headers, Pacesetter Off-Road H pipe, Flowmaster exhaust, Cobra Intake, and a 70mm throttle body. Any help appreciated!


Thanks,
Keith

alot of people will tell you to go with AFR, that seems to be the consensus. I have trick flow TW myself, just because they come with a nice kit, and i got a good deal on it! Either way, you cant go wrong

ditch the e cam and go with a dual pattern. the valve overlap of the e303 allows all your pressurized air to just shoot out the exhaust and do nothing. If you want to run a turbo, build it for a turbo.... low comp pistons and a cam with little or no overlap. A nice turbine and a custom turbo manifold will open up worlds of power opportunities..... enough to make you start worrying about split blocks.
