I actually took some aluminum heads off of my truck (350) because I figured the extra power wasn't being used with the light hauling and slow driving that I do. If you live near mountains and haul big trailers then maybe big power is more important to you. Everybody here likes VooDoo cams or Comp Cams 268. I'm sure any of them will really really wake up your engine. If you're set up for roller lifters then there is another option.
No mountains here, but perhaps some dune hills in the future and all the power you can get is helpful there. Other than that, it is sort of a weekend hot rod fun truck. I thought about the Comp Cams 268 but wasn't sure how that would work with the stock replacement type of heads that I have.
