Best Heads for a 87GTA 350?

I was wondering what heads would be the best for my car. Its a 350 5 speed, MSD 6al, MSD super conductor wires, B&M ripper shifter, 3.73 gears, 1 3/4 SLP headers, flowmaster muffler, gutted cat, not sure about the Cam the guy i bought the car from is no where to be found. I think he said he ported the heads but i don't believe him. So what heads would be the best and how much are they?
Also any ideas what my car might run?(1/4 mile)

The Air Flow Research 190 = $1400
Trick Flow Wedge = $1000
Bolt either of these heads on and your in the 12s solid but you will need to replace the tpi with a mini ram or super ram. You could probably get there with extensive mods to the factory tpi but you will have the same $ in it almost and it will run much faster with either MR,SR vs the factory LTR design.

Ported corvette L98 heads?
$400-used, and some self porting= a good deal and some money saved.
These heads have great potential if your willing to do a little work.

------------------
'88 RS (originally 2.8)
New 350, .040 over, ported vette L98s, ported stock tpi.
Old 305 injectors & chip
TES headers, 3.73 gears, 700r4.
Best with 2.8-17.4@77mph
Best with 305-15.0@93mph
Best with 356-13.7@101mph
(Damn the 2.8!)
