Built Heads or IC?

What would be better....not trying to be "cocky" but money is not a issue. I been looking at some heads from ZZP and was wondering if I should build the motor and tranny up then get a IC. And also im REALLLLLLLLLLY leaning towards a turbo setup after the first of the year. Just wanting your guys two cents on it all! :th_peaceout:
 


heads honestly dont do too much... i mean they do, but not for the money. i ran a gen v 2.55 ic setup all the way to low 12's on BONE stock heads minus valve springs. a buddy ran his turbo setup into the 11's no prob on BONE stock heads. 0kr. im sure there is 10-15hp to be picked up with built heads but at what cost? 1500+??? No thanks. IC is the way to go. and if i were you, i wouldnt be investing into turbo setups but thats just my .02. you will be fixing it more than driving it more than likely.

Heads are worth it...IMO...if your paying $1,500 for 3800 heads your getting hosed.
 


yes, heads arent worth it if you arent using the extra flow that becomes available. big cam = ported heads.
 
Just get the aluminum heads and a genV ic setup if money is not the issue! But I might have to remarry you if you do that... Stock heads have been pushed past 600whp before. Your going to see more noticable gains from an intercooler, at least a pulley size and 3-4 degrees of timing. You will also be able to run the car a little leaner on a IC setup.
