Ok I found a set of Stage 2 Heads from MMR and I can get them for 1200.00. My question is should I just keep my heads and have them ported or try and get theses? I believe I can get the heads ported for between 6-800.00 I think I was quoted 6 and some change. Also if I got the Heads what do you think I can get for my stock Heads? The car only has 4k miles on it.
Need HELP

It all depends. I know some places advertise a 75 hp gain over stock but you have to look at the fine print. They actually test heads on modded engines. They dont test them on stock engine because you really do not see a big gain while your poket gets raped. I would say yes to buying them if you plan upgrading your cams and intake. Im not to fimilar with the new style heads and how they do with porting but, it has to mean more power somewhere. I would look around and do some research before jumping into some thing you might regret. Jon
You should definately read up on it more. The stock heads flow very well for a simple bolt-on setup from what I understand. It would be more useful if and only if you install cams. I have acquired this info from reading other forums, but i wouldnt bet the farm on it. do some research. s197 forums is a very helpful site, there are some serious cars there.
It depends if you are going to go with a power adder or not. You won't see much or feel much of a gain with a natural aspirated motor. I would see what the CFM ratings are on the heads you would like to buy and see what the CFM rating would be on your heads after porting. I don't know to much about all of it yet (still reading into it) but what I do know is if your heads can flow a lot of air and you have a power adder sitting above, I am sure you will be finding the gains you are looking for.
Oh yeah, cams would be a nice upgrade.
