Default I need heads!

What heads would best optimize my combo? I currently have the tsp231/237 598/595 cam on a 112, with all bolt ons. What heads would best go along with this cam? I am looking to stay NA.

That sounds like a pretty healthy cam. I would probably lean towards a set of worked-over AFR 205's as the 225's wont be out for a while yet. If you're staying NA then bump up the CR a bit. What type of fuel is available in your area?
