Post Looking to get new heads. which would be the best?

Ok i've got a 1991 5.0L basically stock and im looking to finally get a set of heads put on it. There are tons of choices out there, and it gets pretty confusing. So what should i go with to get the best power for the price?

It will depend on what power you are looking to make, and what price you are expecting to pay. Best bang for the buck?...... TFS TW, Canfield 195, TFS high ports with the correct valve events (cam) and valve train....

Need more info. What's the budget? What are your goals? What's the intended use of the car?

$630 will get you a pair of RHS Pro Action 180cc aluminium heads fully-assembled from Summit Racing. I'm looking into those 'cause they're less than 1/2 the price of AFR 165's but higher flowing.

.... unless you plan on buying one cylinder head. Multiply that price x2.
