Default Which heads would be best?

i have an 88GT, wich i converted to MAF has an AOD for now, wich i will replace with either a 5spd. or a C4 havent decided yet...

stock bottom end,Mac Shorties, Holley SysteMax upper/lower with (2) 1" risers, 75mm TB/EGR spacer,BBK AFPR,also it has 410 gears when i get a new MAF i will have 24lb. injectors, and it will also have an E303 cam

my question is this....with the stock bottom end and the above mentioned mods. wich heads should i use for optimum performance, i will be putting nitrous on the car but it doesn't have it yet....i know there are alot of different heads that i could use, but i just want to get some opinions on what you guys think...also if you've had a similar set-up what heads did you use, and what kinda power were you making/ times at the track?

Thanx for the help....~Troy

i would reccomend edelbrock performer 5.0's. you can use your same pedestel mount rockers. they have 1.90/1.60 valves out of the box. I have run 10.20 @ 129 with an unported 60379, f303 and nitrous.

good luck.
