Default h/c/i combo/ input plz!

hey guys im gettin ready to take off the upper/lower intake again(front gasket leaking [:@]) its a holley systemaxx II. im debating on installing a new cam and heads while im at it. I eventually plan to get some sort of turbo (novi 2000?/hellion?)installed so im wanting to get a cam/heads friendly with that setup for the future, i have 1.7 RR installed allready also, i'm interested in suggestions from all as far as the combo but i want heads that arent going to require flycutting or changing the cylinders for the moment.

if i was to make a combo right now i guess it would be holley systemaxx II/ steed #19/ afr 165 or 185?(planning for turbo later on?? would the 185s lower compression/be more turbo friendly?)

im open to opinions on different heads besides afrs but i dont really want to have to mess with the pistons in order to make the heads work

any suggestions opinions appreciated thanks all

if you don't want to mess with pistons then you can use a twisted wedge head from trick flow with 2.02/1.60 valves
