What would you do?

Would you guys do to stock 302 heads to give them some more performance? I have a friend Whose Dad owns an engine shop so I can get head work done really cheap. [8D]

Port matching and generally cleaning up the ports will make the largest difference, as would machining for adjustable roller rockers/guide plates. Increaasing the valve size is a good idea.

Oh damn, I totally forgot the port matching.... Yeah, do that, or is it better to Gasket match???? I cant remember, One of them doesn't work as good as the other.
