I personally like TEA's for the price.. 1450ish? Their stage 1.5's are sweet. If I ever put any on my truck it will be TEA cause for the money saved on the TEA's I could use elsewhere.. i have their heads on my car and they are awesome!

You really need to know the CI of the new motor to pick valve size and chamber size. A 388 is not going to use the same valve size as a 402 or 408. The chamber size will equal into the c/r this will vary from motor to motor.

I would go AFR 205 with the cam in you sig. and would go with the 225's with any thing over 230* duration @ .050. But the Patriot or WCCH heads are probably the best "bang for the buck."

I didn't even see your cam, it the same as mine. I went with the WCCH cause the ports peak with the cam. I should have some results on Wednesday.

Well, i would figure out what size engine you are going to go with and what cam you plan to run. If you go with a 402+ i would sugest some good flowing heads.
