Headers or heads?

Well its time for the next round of mods, what should i do next? i already have an intake, catback, offroad x, preditor tuner, 75mm tb and plenum. i am thinking of either long tubes and gears or heads and cams. or maybe just one of the 4 i dont know. i like the way the car is geared now and i would never go 4:10s ( lot of roll racing in south florida) so it would only be 3.73s. i am looking for a big improvement. what do you guys think? she runs preaty good now, i am dead even with 05+ stangs i would like to know i can get down with an ls1 if i need to.

if it were up to me, i would save the cash and get a blower and then later down the road get the internals forged and crank up the boost if buget permits

Well knowing what I know now about mustangs I would mod my car as follows...forged bottom, full exhaust (it compliments everything esle), 3600 stall(3disc), 3:90 gears, KB 2.2, heads/cams, and finally the built rear end and full suspension. I'd have a 600+ rwhp/10 sec dependable street car for about an extra 20K .

if you are going with the 2.2 roots blower I would step your gearing down to AT LEAST 3.55 unless you just want to have your car perform smoke shows all day
