Default Vortech heads match up.

Are there any other heads that i could get for a similiar price that might produce more power and bolt up better? If i have to purchase new valve covers then maybe it'd be best to go with something else a little mroe expensive. Will my ceramic coated headers bolt up to them? I also purchased a new manifold that hasn't been put on yet but i'm debating whether that'll bolt up right or not. It's an Edelbrock Performer.. not sure of the code on it since it's at a buddy's house and he's not home.. but i hope it allows to bolt up to the vortech heads if i get them. The guy at the shop said there should be no problem. Ideas?

As far as stock heads go, Vortecs are the way to go. There are plenty of aftermarket options if you want to spend more money.

I am using Dynomax ceramic coated headers, and they bolt up fine.

I thought we already covered that one in your last post.
