220 Canfield heads too much?

I saw these heads for sale.
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">a pair of fully ported Canfield 220cc aluminum heads with Ferrea 2.100/1.625 valves, Crane springs, retainers and 10 deg. locks, AND a custom Canfield shaft rocker system. Heads flow over 310 cfm (have all flowsheets/paperwork) and have CNC 63.5 cc combustion chambers.</font>
Is this too much for my setup below. I'm looking for a miniram in the future but I can't afford to get all of this stuff at once. What do you guys think? Are these good heads? If they're really good maybe I'll get them and wait until I get a new intake setup to put them on along with a new chip which is a requirment with a miniram anyways.

For the time being, its not gonna be a very good combo because I dont see a cam in your sig and those would just be overkill otherwise. With a miniram and an appropriate cam, those would work quite well. Canfields are pretty decent, you can go to AFR's website and they have a head comparison that shows Canfield numbers right with AFR's numbers.

Those heads are way overkill unless you're shooting for deep 10s.

So I guess putting them on without an intake and cam is out of the question. Sorry about not mentioning a cam. I was planning on using the cam that TRAXION recommended with the miniram, the Comp Cam Xtreme 224/230 cam. Is this a good combo or are the heads still too much. Do you know of a cam that would work best with this combo? Thanks for your help.
