Default Best Heads and Throttle Bodies

I am redoing the engine on my 87 5.0 LX. I am looking to purchase some heads and a throttle body. What do you recommend. Also I need to get a mass air conversion done, I want to get to the point of bolting a supercharger on in the next 4 or 5 months.

Any help would be appreciated.

Might want to go for injectors at the same time and MAF if you have the $. But GT40 heads are great, so are Pi heads. TBs - BBK and FRPP are nice ones.

dont go with gt40s, go with either trick flow or afr (i know, i dont usually say arf). i prefer trick flow. both flow much better the gt40s. also get the intake and cam from trick flow and it will all match and be awesome!!!!!!!<IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">thats why i like tfs
