Options for heads?

Here's my engine specs as of now...

engine: 350 Goodwrench engine
cam: Comp 206/212 @.050" .425/.442
heads: stock goodwrench
exhaust: flowtech shorty headers, !cat, 3" pipe to '98 WS6 Muffler
ignition: MSD 6AL

What kind of heads would everyone reccommend I go with? Can I use any standard set of heads, or do I need special ones for the X-Fire intake? I was thinking of maybe getting the Wolrd Products S/R Tourqer heads. They're a fairly mild head, but I've also got a mild cam in there.

Also, what kind of power do you think I'm making w/ the current setup, and how much of a gain would I see w/ certain heads?

I entered my engine/induction specs into Desktop Dyno and its saying I'm making 282 Flywheel HP @ 5K and 305 FW TQ @ 4500. Does that sound about right? For the specs I put in a SBC 350, 441 Heads, 8.5:1 compression, 510cfm 2 bbl carb (as close to 2 1bbl TBI's as I could get), Tunnel Ram intake (thats what a cross ram is, right?), Small tube headers w/ mufflers, and my cam specs.

i'd recomend a set of trick flow's. they are available at a pretty decent price and 64cc chambers will help.

All depends on your budget/idea of how you want the motor to run.

IMO, there is no point in getting a set of killer flowing heads when you'll be using a very mild cam ect....

Budget project, go Vette Aluminum or Vortecs.

Serious, look into aftermarket.

My 0.02 cents.
