Can't see throwing down for an aftermarket block yet.
So for me, a pump gas, OEM production B or RB block with a 4.15 stroker kit is the plan.................after much evaluation of what's out there, it'll be a set of the Indy EZ's. They have the improved intake runner/passage, taller valves, aluminum (weight savings), will fit either my A or B body, takes a wide selection of standard valvetrain/rocker gear and can be ported to MW inlets later.
The complete kit is here.........http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/indyezheads1.html

I think The EZ's are the best head for the money with room to grow  It would be easy to put a car into the nines with them and not have to spend a lot of money on high dollar parts  Gus

Mr cab my cuda is race only bracket car. the reason i have had to redo them twice is the intakes are leaking during a leakdown test. It seems the seats are dropping. 
Send them to a reputable shop and have new seats put in. Much cheaper in the long run.
Porter, Koffel, Radar come to mind.
My 3000# 500" Barracuda went 9.20's with Stage VI M/W ported heads. However, they were done by Don Studley, who is not with us any more.
But the first thing he did was put new seats in new heads.. 
Wonder why that was..

A buddy had a set of pro comps set up to race with. The guy at the shop said it would be best to work with them basically bare with valves for a race deal. They did make good power after some port work though. But that is only one set of heads. As they say, results may vary.

I did talk to Dwayne at Porters.  I am gonna race  this year with the 440 and stage VIs and then this fall I will send Dwayne the heads and he will make them right.  I didn't race at all last year  so it is time. Told my son to get his duster ready cause we are going to mopars on the strip in 2 years.

I wonder how soon it will be before one falls all the way out 
I'm waiting for a really good iron block to use them on 
It depends on how much power you want the heads to make and how big the motor is
