Default Should I do heads?

Hi,
I have a question, as of now, my car has a vortech supercharger, cam, headers, and exhaust. My car dynoed at 540 RWHP and 500RWTQ. Do you guys think it would be wise to wait until I build my motor or would I be OK to do heads and alky or meth? Thanks.

Is that on a stock shortblock? You may want to post this in the FI section. They should be able to better answer your question.
