TF 170 or FAC 190 heads...

the FAC could use a little bit of a bump in compression (10:1) to make them work even better...

I ran trickflow on a stock blow with a vortech S trim and made 480 rwhp. I went from gt40 heads to trickflow and noticed a huge difference right away. I don't have any experience with AFR so I can't comment on those

I'd use the 170's from Trick Flow.
Be ready to buy a new set of pushrods also........

cost is negligible, go with the FAC190's and custom cam. top that with a good intake, hold on to your peter and try not to **** your pants.
