Although I am no expert from research I have done it would seem any reasonable amount of head work will only really be of benefit with a large cam or boost. Also from the research I have done the stock heads can handle boost without much work. I could go all out and spend $1000 on each head. If we are talking 5-7rwkw for an extra $1000, it just ain't worth it. My budget is $1000 for both and I want to keep it inside that if possible.
My current heads need some work as they are old. Getting them back to factory spec and some will be as much as I need. I am not expecting huge gains with what I have planned but I'm thinking I might pic up 12-14rwkw. However the main advantage will be a fresh top end. It currently makes some strange noises at WOT for anymore than 20-30 seconds. I have been told it could be springs but I am also replacing lifters so I can rule out both.
