Doing a 383. Are my heads good?

After a failed attempt last year for my car, I need to rebuild motor so 383 now. Anyway, I have a lot of new parts (see blow) and im wondering if I should look at different heads (AFR 195) or keep my Patriots (see below). They only have 100miles on them! Also what horsepower (to wheels) should I see and 1/4 mile.

Whats done:

Comp 503 Cam
StealthRam intake
Holley Fuel Rials
30lbs injectors
Walbro 255
GM Performance Oil Pump
1:6 Rockers
Patriot Heads Click>>>>>>>>> http://www.competitionproducts.com/P...tinfo/PAT2187/
373 Rear Gears
MSD Cap/Rotor/Wires (10mm)

What will be done over winter
Bore/Stroke 383
Eagle stroker kit (Is this good? Heard up and down opinions)
Stall (What can my rear end handle before it breaks an axle?)

Sorry for all the ??? Im trying to get everything sorted out. Thanks!

Those Patriot heads are fine for a 383.
