I have been told the weak point in my setup is the heads. I have a MTI G1 cam, Kooks 1-7/8 headers and X-pipe with cats, LS6 intake, U/D pulley. I have been told 30+ HP depending on which heads. Numbers are misleading though, IMHO. PM me if you want details.

Dennis,
With your goals in mind I would consider the following combo:
3600 converter, LT headers (Dynatech or Kooks), and a *streetable* cam (perhaps something in the 224 range).
You might pick up 10-15 hp with a decent set of heads on a stock car - not much bang for the buck without a cam or FI.
Good luck,
Mark

The AFRs are great heads, but you will not see great results unless you go with a big cam. Alot of AFR cars are putting down ~430 rwhp and they are running cams in the 228 228 range. You will have to go bigger to break the 450 rwhp mark or more.
If thats what your wanting?
