You could do it in steps. Changing the heads on SBF is something you can do yourself with medium mechanical skills (or the help of a friend). The brand of head is not nearly as important as the skill of the man that is doing the staging job. Nicely done aluminum heads will give you a good boost, but it will be important for you to chat over the fact that you are keeping the same 224/234 hydro cam, but that you might jump to something heavier if you're still not satisfied. Barry, Keith, Brent L. can all give you good deals on nicely staged SBF heads, maybe with an adjustable roller rocker set on there as well. That would give you plenty of options for the next step, should you choose to go there.
