What times are you currentley running with your setup? I wouldn't recommend the heads unless you have maxed out your tune.

Haven't run her since I put the front mount intercooler

Yeah, I guess you could go with a set of aluminum heads. If it were me, I'd see how much I could get out of the current combo. Not to mention that I'd rather not have to open up the motor again unless I really had to.

Come on down to Cecil on the 12th and make a few runs!

I was planning on going unless something unexpected comes up.
