    Default Stock vl calais 5.0 with good headers,wanting more horsepower cheaply?? (under 2.5k)

    Hi there.
    I own a 87 vl calais 5.0. running 5.0 lv2 motor,stock apart from a good set of headers.
    have been told to put vn heads on etc for a cheap and good gain in horsepower.
    i work hard but have a big family so $ are tight..Any good ideas on getting more for less $ would be appreicated..Cheers...
