buying entirely new heads would be a waste, you could get a used S-trim for about as much maybe less.

depends are u high compression or low compression right now? being that ur using nitrous my guess is ur on the higher end of compression ratio. i think ur fine with what u got. just play with some camshafts to fine tune the combo together. but just .02 some other people might have better sugestions
