Aftermarket Aluminum Heads

Hi, I have a 69 Camaroo SS with a 355 small block, and a 4 speed Muncie in it. I want to get a set of aftermarket aluminum heads to really wake my engine up. I am leaning towards Airflow Research, does anybody have any advice or other suggestions?

I would do a cam first. Or decide what cam you want and purchase the heads to match.
But, you should not purchase high flow heads without a cam to match otherwise the incoming air will flow at a lower velocity than your stockers did and the car will feel like a slug until you get over 4000 rpm.

The Dart Pro 1 works very well "out of the box" and if you buy them fully assembled you get decent components at a fair price.

Dart pro 1's and brodix IK200 both seem real good.... AFR is good to, but I think they are over-priced.
